Need

I've never needed anyone
The way that I need you
Needing to feel your touch
To feel this love so true

This need within the soul
Will the hunger ever be sated
For our hearts touching
Can be nothing less than fated

I've never needed anything
The way that I need this
Needing to feel your strength
To feel your gentle kiss

I wonder how this need
Came to exist in me
Why does it reside here
Aching to be free

I've never needed to soothe this ache
The way I need to now
Needing to know, will there be a way
The time, the place, and how?

For like the storm
You came and touched my world
Thunder and gentle rain
Wind mixes in the swirl

I've never needed to fill this void
The way I need this filled
Needing to keep you with me
Your warmth chasing away the chill

Forever in time
As I walk the life I lead
My quest, my path guiding
Always toward you, my need.
