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,
that leads me safely home.
