I Need You
By Steven Barnes


I Need You

A sun that doesn’t shine

Grass that doesn’t grow

Wishes that never come true



Life sucks without you



I pace the floor

I keep checking my messages

I shed countless tears



When the number one pops up in my inbox

This heart skips a beat

When I see your name I smile

I read your message twice so I stay happy



You let me soar like a bird

You make me carefree as a child

Happy as a hippie



You’re the water in my rivers

You’re the grass that makes my world beautiful

You’re the peace my soul needs



I have to see you

Whether that means walking around the world

Teaching pigs to fly

Making a politician honest

I will see you



Like a girl needs flowers

Like a human needs oxygen

Like a man needs his sports team

Like a child needs his parent

I need you



You’re the reason I smile

You’re the reason I blush

You’re the reason I love



I love you

You are my soul

My reason for existence

Without you I don’t want to live



I can’t live

I have no emotion without you

I’m just a soulless golem



Please stay with me

I’ve never felt this way before

I want this feeling to stay

I want you to stay



I don’t want anyone else



If someone offered glorious times with someone else

Happy times with someone else

Parties with someone else

Times that I would never forget with someone else

And you were living with the serpent

I’d deal with the tough times with you in a heart beat



Because I love you more than a man will ever love a woman

And if I you ever left me I would slowly rot and die



I

Need

You
