Simply For Contentment
i need you,
like i need air to breathe,
like i need an earth to walk on,
like i need contentment.
i need you,
like a flower needs the sun,
like the trees need the water,
like the seeds need contentment.
i need you,
like a bird needs wind beneath its wings,
like a tick needs blood for sustainance,
like a puppy needs contentment.
i need you,
like the earth needs the atmosphere,
like the shore needs a tide,
like the sky needs contentment.
i need you,
more than a plumber needs a wrench,
more than a train needs coal,
more than a body needs a heart,
more than sick people need visitors,
more than a candle needs a flame,
more than the world needs contentment.
i need you,
because you are my contentment.
