If ever there was you and me,
I would treasure it always.
You are my sun, my moon, and stars.
I want to be the air you breathe,
the force that keeps you here.
I want to love you like neither of us were ever broken.
It would forever be us against the world.
I want to see your secret dreams;
your unadulterated thoughts.
I want to know you better
than the sun knows light.
I can't wait to meet your lips.
But I can't want this anymore.
I need you, now,
like a writer needs ink;
like a poet needs love.
I want to be whole again.
And I need you to be
the glue that keeps
me together.
And when that glue holds
and dries,
I know I will never feel this want;
this need, again.
