I Need You (2013)

you & me on the side of a building

I need you, to hold you, to trust me, to love you, don’t leave me, believe me, it was nothing, I want you, I’ve done wrong, I’ll do right, I’ve lied yes but I’m not now, I’ve grown up, and I’ve shown up every time.

I own up to all of the times I was dishonest but I promise that was my past and you are my future. The truth of the matter is I was scared, wasn’t ready, we moved too fast.

Let’s slow up together, grow up together, show up together, be the man and woman that was meant to be forever.

Cherish this Round 2, this amazing view and hold on to makes us unique. Not perfect by far but even closer is our destiny, you bring out the best in me; that’s why I need you here next to me.

As I pound out these words, you should be pounding out your verbs “Kiss me, Eat me, Fuck me, Faster, Harder, now Slower, Softer” that’s what I want to hear. There is no need to fear because I got you, you got me, we get we, no I mean us and that all that matters.
