Only Love Poem by Mary Champion

I can stand on my own,
I can make it alone,
I am strong and I have it all planned.
But I still need you back
Cos there's one thing I lack,
Oh, my darling, can you understand…

You gave the world meaning,
Oh baby, it's true.
My life had no reason
Until I found you.
Though I seemed so successful, I was empty inside;
If you only knew all the tears that I've cried.
My world had no meaning, for all that I knew,
My life had no reason until I found you.

You may think I don't care,
That I don't need you there,
Just because I don't break down and die.
But although I exist
Since the last time we kissed,
I go on, but I never know why.

You gave the world meaning,
Oh baby, it's true.
My life had no reason
Until I found you.
Though I seemed so successful, I was empty inside;
If you only knew all the tears that I've cried.
My world had no meaning, for all that I knew,
My life had no reason until I found you.

We've been searching through time
For the reason and rhyme;
We have studied the great and the small.
But we still never knew
What I found out from you -
Only love can make sense of it all.

You gave the world meaning,
Oh baby, it's true.
My life had no reason
Until I found you.
Though I seemed so successful, I was empty inside;
If you only knew all the tears that I've cried.
My world had no meaning, for all that I knew,
My life had no reason until I found you.
