I Need This

I’m longing for something

I’m longing for this thing

I sometimes forget how it feels

Because it always gets taken away from me.

There’s this thing that I need.

I need this, you know.

I need to feel valued by a woman with a beautiful soul,

that can see the good in me, no matter how many sins I have committed.

I need to feel like I’m loved,

Because the people who say they love me

Really shows the opposite.

They call it tough love

But even I know

It’s slang for envy and hatred.

I need this, I need this feeling.

I need this feeling of healing.

I need this feeling of intimacy.

I need this feeling of pleasure, both mentally and physically.

Some think that I’m crazy because I actively pursue this.

Just because it doesn’t come right away

Doesn’t mean I should stop looking.

We all need this feeling.

Some people need it, some people don’t.

But, it’s rewarding for those who get it.

I need this.

I want it…

From you, my lady.
