If You Were... Poem by hazem al jaber

if you are a sun, ..
the sun every day, rise and then go down, ..
and without it i can be alive...

if you are a moon, ...
the moon will stay just hours, ..
to chat with me in my nights, ..
and then will go again, ..
so, even without it i can be alive....

if you are a world, ..
i can retire from this world, ..
and close all my doors, ..
and live alone to my loneliness, ...
so i can be alive too...

if you are a water, ...
i will be thirsty for a while, ...
despite of thirst, ...
i can be alive....
but you are the air, which i breath...
and without you, ..
never ever to live and to be alive....
because you are my life
