I need you….

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)

Ode


I don’t know why but…. I need you. You make me feel safe. I don’t know why but…. I need you. I feel vulnerable and naked without you. I don’t know why but…. I need you. You are like a cape that gives me strength and courage. I don’t know why but….I need you. When I’m feeling alone and unloved, you wrap around me like a hug and make me feel loved. I don’t know why but…. I need you. No matter what, you’re always here to comfort me. I don’t know why but…. I need you.
