I need you like rain on a day of drought.

I need you like food for a starving body.

I need you like a child needs it's mother's milk.

I need you like someone needs shelter from the storm.

I need you like sleep for someone suffering from insomnia.

I need you like warmth on a cold night.

I need you like sunlight on a rainy day.

I need you like a woman needs her husband's protection

I need you like an alcoholic need whiskey.

I need you like a man needs his wife affection.

I need you like someone needs water to survive.

I need you like a cat needs it's owners love.

I need you like a abandoned child needs it's parents.

I need you more now than ever.

I need your happiness more than my own.

I need you to say I love you.
