If I were going to need you
I'd need the smile that lights my way
I'd need the arms that comfort me
I'd need the eyes that look deep in my soul
I'd need the warmth of your touch to warm me
I'd need your laugh to dry up my tears

If I were going to need you
it needn't be because I'm lonely
or because I'm sad and miserable
it needn't be because I'm crying
or because I have no one else

If I were going to need you
it would be because I finally understand
I am nothing without you holding me,
sharing my laughter, and sharing my dreams.

Angelwings,
Temptress' challenge well met I'd say.
Be well
Kethry

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
