I Need You

A darkness came over me, 
covering me with grey
Making my sun die on that 
dark depressing day
My soul feeling it was 
slowly suffocating too
Another essence called 
out to mine true

Fighting through darkness 
reaching through a mist
Found the other essence
blowing it a kiss
Hoping the other felt 
the pull one was feeling
Like the moon has on water 
sounding so appealing 

Essence found its twin 
so it reached out
It had no choice, there 
wasn't any doubt
Taking away darkness's 
cold grey mist 
Bringing a warm light 
back with a  simple kiss

Sunlight shines down, 
stars shine each night
Twinkling even brighter 
giving me light
Made a soul feel lighter, 
a heart so full and true
All because I reached out 
saying that "I need you!"
