Do I need you?

The soft love.

The tender touch.

The presence that props me up.

That twin soul.

The one that could be my everything.

***

Do I need the security?

A future that isn’t a dead end.

Life that does not scream of being lonely.

A worry snuffed out at the root.

No constant panic at what may come.

Golden stability.

***

Do I need the morals and beliefs?

How far can I bend without breaking?

Will the chance come again?

How far am I willing to go to be accepted?

How many times will I be rejected?

Am I doing any of this right?
