I need you
As much as
A fish needs a bicycle
Tumblr needs Facebook
An ex-lover needs a hug
I need you
As much as
My tears need to be
Understood
That is to say
I would rather walk alone
If you were the only companion
I could have
However
I will go as far
As to admit that
Sometimes, rarely
My yearning
For the life we once had
Strikes me with such
A mistifying clarity
I cannot help but revoke
My previous sentiments
But without shame!
There is no shame in clarity!
Therefore
I need you
As much as
A frog needs water
A writer needs a dictionary
A child needs a paintbrush
I need you
As much as
My tears need to be
Understood
(That is to say
I may need to
Choose you someday)
