I need your love
I need your body
I need your presence.
I need you.
I need...
I have lots of needs.
It seems to me, I'm being self-centered.
What are YOUR needs?
Do you need my love?
Do you need my body?
Do you need my presence?
Do you need me?
Do you have lots of needs?
It seems to me
What we need in this world
Is more caring for the needs
Of others.

Singing along with the last two lines!
Excellent insight. I love the conclusion!
Amen! A little care goes a long way! 💙
Maybe the sense of being needed is all there is. Nice poem!
Love needs work, I agree. Still, not everyone has a truthful chance to experience it. Good that you’re back, Julie! Vocal may be a frustrating experience, but it feels like a family and a place for a free expression :)
Yes, I agree! The world would be a better place if everyone cared for each others needs more. Thanks for sharing.
