I will always need you
More than you will need me
To me you are the air
And sanity
A conscience that sees clearly
When everything I view
Is shrouded in confusion
Your touch can heal
No matter what ails me
Though mostly what ails me
Is you
The words you speak
Are always pleasing
Because to me
Everything you are
Is wonderful
Perfection without the weight
Of feeling perfect yourself
Strong when all are weak
Powerful in the gentlest of ways
You are a light in the darkness
Even to those who do not seek you
All who know you
They love you
And much like me
They will follow you to the ends of the world
Or to the bitter end
Some of them will need you
For a time
Most will want you
For always
And while they claim your eyes
Your heart
Your hands
I stand aside
Even though the truth is
I will always want you
Without fail or caveat
Because I love you
More than I can even comprehend
the power that love holds on me
It is a binding of my soul
A bond that is one-sided
Painfully one-sided
That proves to me
that I need you
That I will always need you
And always
More
than you
need
Me.
