I Need You Love

Welcome to the chaos

To the stacks and scraps of paper

Puppets hanging in the kitchen

In an avalanche of wind chimes

Oh, I need you love

Welcome to my guesses

To the questions unremembered

In a myriad of choices

In the fragments of my sentences

I need you love

I need you love

Need you like an arrow needs

The center of a circle

As it flies

I need you love

Like sleep and light and oxygen

And your warm arms around me

When I cry

Oh, baby, I

Try to find a million ways

To tell you all the

Endless reasons why

Welcome to the circus

And the days so swift unfolding

Where I have no flipping clue

And yet I sound as if I do, you know

I need you love

Welcome to the lessons

And the dance of sweet forgiveness

To the gift of my intentions

And the depth of my commitment

Oh, I need you love

I need you love

Need you through the spirals

And the detours

In the dark nights of my soul

I need you love

The lips, the hands, the eyes, the voice

The story that we share

As it unfolds

This dream we hold

Promise me, we'll always be together

And you'll never let me go

Welcome to forever

Evermore and ever after

After all that we have weathered

Weather anything else matters

Oh, I need you love

I need you love
