Every Reason I Need

Every time I see your face, I can't help but smile Down every road and street, Across every mile. When i look into your eyes, Always bright as the sun, I see them radiate so brightly, I know that you're the one. If you called my name In a time of need, Hardly a thing on earth would be able to match my speed. Though you compare to no other, Not even to a summer's day, Your touch i will never feel, For what I will, you will never say. I will never be you first choice, Always second best, And while you are not with me, There's an elephant on my chest. The corners of your mouth pierce me Every time you smile, My heart may always bleed, Without you knowing all the while. You show a personality warm enough To melt the arctic snow, Yet you possess a shoulder cold enough That my hand falls off as for you I go To gaze upon your flowing hair Is to only blind myself from the world, Yet my desire to stroke its beauty Is matched only by my wish to find you in my arms, curled.
