I Need You

I need you
as the wilting flower needs rain
as the hungry child needs food
as the thirsty man needs water
as the lonely need a friend

I need you
to lie beside me in the night
to warm me from within
to hold my hand and talk
to embrace me as I fall asleep

I need you
when dawn first breaks
when dusk descends
when the day ends
when seasons change

I need you
to help me when I stumble
to forgive me when I err
to kiss away my tears
to understand my fears

I need you
to share each day with me
to make me feel complete
to make my life worthwhile

There is little else to say...
I need you
