Variations of something I wrote before... ( More)


I need you more than you need me

I need you more than I need air to breathe

More than the fish need the water in the sea

I need you more than you need

I love you more than you love me

I love you more than I love to see

More than the whales love the seas...

I love you more than you love me

I want you more than you'll ever want me.

Want you more than a two year old wants ice cream.

Want you more than I even feel comfortable to admit...

OK, I want you more, is that such a sin?

I dream of you more than you do me,

I close my eyes

and a future with you is all I see

I will cherish you all the days of my life, I swear this to thee...

can you not see, my dear love, that I need, love, and want you more than you do me?

This is my dream: you, my sweet wrapped up in a blanket next to me.

You're breathing so slowly... you're asleep.

I want this and you more than you'll ever love me.
