What I Need From You...

What I Need From You...

What I need from you is a warm touch

A gentle tone

Soft hands to glide on the nape of my neck

What I need from you is a feeling so surreal it makes my hair stand on end

I want your smart, sassy ways

I want the kindness and your eyes piercing my soul

Your love draws me in

Your presence so uncanny

A feeling I never knew could feel

I wish you could understand why it is I love you so

I wish for just one day spent in your arms

What I need from you is a day with no anger and no paranoia

What I need from you is just one kiss from you telling me that everything is going to be okay

The days go by and your face fades away

The longing for your presence brings tears to my eyes

I want you more than life itself

What I need from you is an urgency to care

What I need from you is right there, but you just can’t see

No more sleepless nights and someone so fair

Been so long since I heard your voice

Whispers in the dark of something from my past

You just don’t know how it is killin’ me

You just don’t know the pull and tug effect you have on me

I just don’t know why it’s killin’ me so

The way we met, the way we envisioned a kiss

It’s got me going to the extreme

Baby don’t you hurt me

Why fight it

Why deny it

Why hide it

Why must you ignore what you are feeling inside

Just let go and let God

Thought you wanted to be in forever

Thought you wanted this feeling to last

Because you were my one and only

You were mine to regret

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
