What I Need, 
and What I Want

I need to hear,
I want to hear your voice, 
and listen to your words.

I need to smile.
I want to smile the smile your words can bring,
and see you smile for me.

I need to see.
I want to see the look in your eyes
as you gaze down at me.

I need to touch.
I want to reach out to you,
and touch your very soul.

I need warmth.
I want the warmth of your arms
and your sweet and gentle kiss.

I need to feel.
I want to feel the passion
of the fire you kindle within.

I need to love and be loved.
I want to love and be loved by you...

I am thankful to have what I need
Perhaps  only in my dreams
may I have everything I want.
