Where would I be if it wasn’t for you
Would I still be there at home
Would I be happy or blue
Would anyone care would I be all alone
Maybe sitting on a bus watching life go by
Or Locked in a room staring at a screen
Waiting for real love with a sigh
Thinking about a feeling, an emotion so keen
What would I be if it wasn’t for you
Would I have made the same choices
Could there have been anything else true
Would you be able to hear my voice
Would I have made the same mistakes
Would you even know what you were missing
Would we’ve been exempt from other heartaches
Or maybe have the pleasure of kissing
Praises in awe cause the reality is
I am laying here beside you
And as you chase your dreams
Reflecting a precious sight
I kiss your forehead
and wish you a goodnight.

A very searching, beautiful poem. The retorical questions really deepen the poem and make you question your own life as you read, I like that.
Lines 5 and 6 are particularly powerful, I feel. Although, is 'locked' written with a capital for a reason? To me it stands out quite a lot.
There's a lot of feeling in this piece.
And I saw that you're new to allpoetry. Welcome!
