I needed to see you today

I needed to see you today

Thank you.

I needed to see you today.

I didn't know it until we were done;

But I knew immediately we were,

That it was you that was needed in my life right then.

I needed to see you today.

To be refreshed by your unique presence,

To fulfil something that, until I saw you,

I hadn't even dreamed was required.

I needed to see you today.

To soak in your love which,

Although you might never have realised you were doing it,

Was as clear as daylight in your pleasure in seeing me.

I needed to see you today.

To have you ask me for something of me

Which I didn't even know was valuable

Until you asked for it, so openly.

I needed to see you today.

To heal an uncertainty, contain a doubt

To nurture my soul as it struggled

With a shadow I had yet to really face.

I needed to see you today.

To support my courage AND

To help me put the world into perspective,

While I renew my own commitment to my purpose.

I needed to see you today.

To restore my sense of deep gratitude

To refresh my belief in the wonderfulness of our world,

In which you and your kind prevail.

I needed to see YOU today.

To behold your magical being

To listen to your wonderful voice

To be embraced by your utter decency.

I needed to see you today.

Thank you.
