All I Need


Wild

Free

Just for me

You were the shrew

I needed to tame you

You didn’t want that

You wanted to be

The Romeo

to my Juliet

Just for Me

 

Never would I have thought

I would need you more

When we took a vacation

on the sandy shore

of an abandoned island

in the middle of nowhere

but I was fine

because you were there

 

You never left

even when you hid

behind the palm trees

it was funny when you did

 

You are my Tarzan

and I am your Jane

You are the only thing

that can keep me sane

 

I’ve tried to lose it

But you made me look

into the sunset

as we wrote our book

in the sand

in our hearts and

in the air

how could I bare

the thought without you

and you without me

I don't think I can

That will never be

 

BUT

 

being stranded

is the best

because even though we are

you never left

not to the other side

not across the sea

because we knew

we were all we need
