A Need

I need you

I need you

To show up

To stand out front

To shield me

I need you

I need you

To lead

To breed

To be there for me

I need you

I need you 

Now

Then

Always

I need you

I need you

To share joy with

To share sorrow with

To share life with

I need you

I need you

For the full experience 

This is not just something 

To be half-lived

I need you

I need you

To buy in to commitment

To stand beside me

Through the tick and the thin

I need you

I need you

Like a book needs words

To have any meaning

Like words need to be defined

To make any sense

Like the whole point of my existence

Is that life had been breathed into you

I need you

I need you

To choose me too

To see how I am of value to you

To need me too

I need you

I need you

I have always needed you

I will always need you

I need you

I need you
