Which is why we say <i>I can't live without you</i> meaning <i>your life gives life to me, who am otherwise an empty vessel, nameless.</i>

a life without love, is no life at all

How was I able to live alone before, my little everything? Without you I lack self-confidence, passion for work, and enjoyment of life — in short, without you, my life is no life.

[Written to his wife, Mileva]

I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!

To whom can I put this question (with any hope of an answer)? Does being able to live without someone you loved mean you loved her less than you thought... ?

How sad, lonely, and empty to live a life without love?

I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again.

I can live neither with you, nor without you.

because my life without you would be
a place of parched and broken trees

You have to live without love, learn not to need it in order to live with it.

Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence,
without you moving, slicing the noon
like a blue flower, without you walking
later through the fog and the cobbles,
without the light you carry in your hand,
golden, which maybe others will not see,
which maybe no one knew was growing
like the red beginnings of a rose.
In short, without your presence: without your coming
suddenly, incitingly, to know my life,
gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind:
since then I am because you are,
since then you are, I am, we are,
and through love I will be, you will be, we will be.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. — Dr. Seuss” — Ellery Adams, The Vanishing Type

Without love, our lives are empty.

I honestly have no idea how to live without you.
