What I Need
What do I need? Someone to love,
Not a coat, shoe, or glove.
What I require, is to be human,
To laugh, to live, to be believed in.
It is difficult not to be
Thinking of an island with a single tree,
As I think of what is necessary to me.
If I was all alone,
What I would think of and groan
In want and need, as I drone,
I know and have been shown.
What I need, to be complete,
Is someone to love me, to treat,
With respect, to honor, to belong
To her, till the end of my days
So all I need, is one whom I may gaze.
In a stroke of luck, I already know her,
The one with whom I adore.
With her I shall share my revelry,
With my sweet, sweet Emily.
