Poem by: whatitcosts
I need you like a summer rain
The way the sun peaks out in a winter grain and
An old dog shivers and perks up his head
I need you like the silence stands
Calling and falling and offering a hand
Standing there ‘till the snow melts and the grass makes friends with the sun
I need you like a cold manilla envelope
In crying hands saying, “I’l be home soon just wait
Wait for my name on the rain.”
I need you like a leather glove on an old hand
Like words to a tune that
Make my spine turn soft and my fingers move
I need you like a long hug
That keeps out the cold and welcomes
Longer months in an old rugged coat
I need you.
Without you the voice breaks
And the bones shake
And the moon can’t reflect the sun
Without you the heart wakes
In the midnight hours
With the deftest gun
Without you my soul hurts
And my hands cry
‘Till my eyes go dry
I need your feet beside mine
And your hand wrapped right
By my waist when I close my eyes tight
I need you
By the stars that shine
I need you
