i need you –

more than – want,

more than – have to have,

as much as – to die for…

i need –

you,

longer than,

forever –

before – now!

addicted to –

the all-of-you,

i cling to your every word,

place them – captive –

in my heart…

and when i find,

you’ve gone away –

i pull them out –

remembering the way you looked right into me –

spoke comfort,

calmed storms,

extinguished fires of discontent,

by simply uttering my name!

i carry –

you –

deep within – me,

unencumbered

as light attached to dawn –

you are my sunrise,

guiding light,
