I Need You,

For too long I have denied how much you mean to me. I can no longer pretend. My soul has been laid bare. I need you, more than the air I breathe, more than life force that keeps me alive. What an empty world it is without you. Pride kept me going for years, though I suffered for it. I tried to show you and myself for years that I was strong and independent, but for what reasons? For prides sake? I don’t know. But I do know that I cannot imagine an eternity without you. Once I told you my soul was bound to yours. My soul, torn from yours bleeds and never heals. Without you, I know it won’t stop until the last drop is gone.

As I reflect back upon our times and life together I know that the happiest moments of my life and the most fulfilled I was ever is when you were with me. Yet the saddest were when you were there but not with me. I am less than half a man without you. No sunset, no mountain, no flower can touch me the way it could when you were by my side and sharing it with me. I am an empty shell without you to complete me. I am surviving, but that is all.

I miss the soft sound of your voice, the gentle curve of your lips and the deep pools of you eyes, the warmth of you next to me. Your touch brings butterflies to my stomach, a thrill to my breast. I yearn to smell the fragrance of you hair, the scent of your body, to feel the soft cool touch of your fingers tips. No worldly possessions, no vision or dream can match the presence of you for me.

You are the love of a lifetime of endless tomorrows. I have never been in love like this before and there will never be one so great again. Even with all the pain and misunderstanding of the last years, my love won’t die, nor my need and want of yours. But I want more. I too need to pamper, love and care for you also. I need you to take from me what I have to offer. Come to me. I will live again and set fire to your soul in the way I never have before. I feel it in me; desire, passion. It is a thirst only you can quench. Damn the world, everyone else and their opinions. I want you, I need you.
