Red Thread

Are you something I need?

Or something I want? 

Because of my greed

of something to flaunt? 

Begging the question each waking day

Do I need you that much, since you're miles away?

The doubts that I've formed 

As my cloud nine was stormed 

Had lead me to believe my heart had been scorned 

I wanted security- I needed security 

To know my acts were not of obscurity 

The states set us apart

Every tear shed broke my heart 

Is this worth it? 

Do I need you?

Is it worth it?

Do I want you? 

Was this red thread a fraud?

A sham?

A con?

Did I need you that much to believe you weren't gone? 

I wanted to feel like something- I needed to feel like something

And, you 

You made me feel like everything 

With time, my doubts shattered 

Leaving only what mattered 

You and you only could fix all that was tattered 

Reguardless of distance, the red thread held tight

The future we've longed for was just in our site

We needed each other- no wants or desires 

Just two working souls is all love requires 

The letters I've sent, the wounds that you mend 

Makes me glad each day, I'll have you in the end
