    What I Need

    I don't want you to "be there" for me.
    I need you to be there in my heart.

    I don't want you to kiss the ground I walk on.
    I need you to kiss the sky I dream on.

    I don't want you to hear what I'm saying.
    I need you to listen to what I am saying

    I don't want a beautiful relationship.
    I need a beautiful life with you.

    I don't want memories that last a lifetime.
    I need to share a life with you one day at a time.

    I don't want you to tell me I'm your "soul mate".
    I need you to tell me we share the same soul.

    I don't want you here in a heartbeat
    I need us to share the same heartbeat.

    I don't want us to spend time together.
    I need us to invest time together.

    I don't want you to be a friend.
    I need you to love me.

    I don't want you to be someone else.
    I need you to be you.

    I don't want someone else.
    I need you, and only you.

    I don't want you to believe it will happen.
    I need you to believe in us.

    Thank you for the very kind words.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
