I only need you

I only need you

I talk to you,

And the world goes silent.

I listen to you,

And my ears have new meaning.

I think of you,

And little moments play out like Broadway in my mind.

In a world like ours

I would think it harder to find

a love so strong as what I share with you.

I know it is love

I know this to be a fact.

The reason I can swear to you,

Right now with everything

I can promise its true

Is  because with all the distance between us,

With never reaching out and grabbing you

With never holding your hand,

As I often wish I could do

With temptations all around me

With the always growing realization that this may never work,

I only see you.

I only want you.

I only need YOU.
