Right now, I need someone I need someone to hold. I need someone to keep safe. To keep another safe makes me Safe. Feeling another's head lean, Brush up against my cheek. Noticing the tickle of an eyelash Gliding, whimsically over my skin. I don't feel secure I don't feel lost. I'm trapped in a limbo: Peace holding me in stasis, Sorrow reaching for my heels. I need someone to hold I need someone to keep safe. No. Not someone. You. Don't think I don't need you. I need you in the morning I need you at the sunset You, more than anyone. More than a father's love More than a mother's And when you ask "Why?" I think it's obvious: You're everything I want to be. In your dreams I see My own desires My own needs Your eyes hold a glow so intense I wonder that the stars shine Through their petty jealousy. If you still don't understand I'll say it one more time: You're everything I want for me.

What I Need
Right now, I need someone I need someone to hold. I need someone to keep safe. To keep another safe makes me Safe. Feeling another's head lean, Brush up against my cheek. Noticing the tickle of an eyelash Gliding, whimsically over my skin. I don't feel secure I don't feel lost. I'm trapped in a limbo: Peace holding me in stasis, Sorrow reaching for my heels. I need someone to hold I need someone to keep safe. No. Not someone. You. Don't think I don't need you. I need you in the morning I need you at the sunset You, more than anyone. More than a father's love More than a mother's And when you ask "Why?" I think it's obvious: You're everything I want to be. In your dreams I see My own desires My own needs Your eyes hold a glow so intense I wonder that the stars shine Through their petty jealousy. If you still don't understand I'll say it one more time: You're everything I want for me.
