I Need You

I need you like I need the light
The warmth and the strength to fight
I need you like I need the dark
The cool, the calm, a place to hide
From all the things that plague me
From which only you can save me.

I need you like I need the day
The softness, the things you say
I need you like I need the night
That holds the man and the love
That send me screaming for more
Makes me feel like I've never felt before.

I need you like I need nourishment
Both fill me, leave me content
I need you like I need a drink,
Peace and quiet and time to think
About us and the things we share,
The weeks that fly, and if you care.

I need you like I need the rain
To cleanse and wash away my pain
I need you like I need the fire
To kindle my sweet desire
For you to kiss me everywhere,
To enjoy the times we share.
