I Need You

I need you 

in my life

more than I need water. 

I need you 

to hold me in your arms. 

I need you 

to tell me everything will be okay. 

But how can you

because you don't know.  

You don't know 

how much I care 

or how much I want you.  

But it's my fault

because I never told you.

I never told you that

I need you

I don't think I ever will

...I can't. 

Because once you know

it changes everything. 

We can't risk it

...not now. 

Not when I realized just how much 

I need you.
