Okay Without You Poem by Stanley Joseph Vinet Jr. Vinet

In shadows cast by the moon's soft light, my heart laments in the deep of night with words unspoken, emotions concealed, quiet whispers of my heart that are heavy and true that…'I don't want to be okay without you.'

The sun may rise and stars may shine, but in my soul is a void for you. Even in the laughter of children I find no delight, and the world loses its vibrant hue, because simply…
'I don't want to be okay without you.'

In my mind your silhouette dances like fireflies across the night sky. In dreams you visit with a fleeting trace, yet waking up brings an empty view reminding me…'I don't want to be okay without you.'

Is it your heartbeat that makes me whole? Is your mind the missing part of my soul? Was your hand the last I'd hold? Only the Heavens knew, because I hope to be…'okay without you'.

I'll face the days with a dimply smile, embrace the longing for just a little while knowing that I'll heal and pull through even though it's hard to be… 'okay without you'.

For in this ache a truth resides that love's journey is where happiness and pain collide and though it hurts to bid you adieu, I'll find the path to her to have my soul renewed and in a hazzy dream I'll look back and remember I'm okay without you.
