I need you
Need you like water
Like sleep
Like erotic dreams
Like my own skin

I need you to fall asleep with
To count the stars with
To sing foolish love songs with
To dance to our song with
To be alive with

I need to wait eternally for you
I need to feel you along side me
I need your fingers entwined with mine
I need you like I need my music
I need you like I need you

I need you to fuck me
I need you so I can breathe
I need you like a politician needs his whore
I need you with carnal legs and quick eyes

If I don't get you I'll fade away
I'll become myself
And resort to old ways and old sarcasms
I'll find myself adrift and a twitch
In my own skin
