I need you like a heart needs a beat...

You are so much like my mother,
My feelings for you are like no other.
You are a person I will treasure,
Always and Forever.

Poems you taught me to write,
You are the one who showed me the light.
I don't know what I would do,
If in my life, I didn't have you.

To me, you have been so influential,
Keeping things I tell you confidential.
You always seem to touch my soul,
Without you, I wouldn't feel whole.
