I Need You....

I need you….
The light in my eye
The dance in my step
The half-breathed sigh
The soft-smiled lip

I need you….
I need your arms
To embrace the stars
To walk on the moon
Or dance on mars

I need you…
The trace of your finger-tips
The beat of your heart
The brush of your lips
When the day is dark…


I need you….
My morning light
My evening grey
My tomorrow
And my yesterday

I need you…..
Like a blanket of warmth
Or a sip of sweet tea
I need you….
…so that I can be me
