I never needed
the sound of laughter
or the cleansing of sweet tears.
Nor the comfort of a firm gentle hand upon my shoulder.
I never needed
a golden smile to lighten my path.
A smile that is brighter than the brightest of suns.
I never needed
passionate kisses
loving touches
or a breathless voice whispering my name.
I never needed
anyone
not to live with
not to share my belongings with
not even to share my bed.
I never needed
anyone to share my passing years,
to grow old and feeble with.
Someone who would still see me and touch me
as if, it was still the first time.
I never needed
or wanted anything
until I met you
and you gave of yourself to me freely.
Now not only do I need
but I need to hear your laughter
feel your passionate touch
and experience your blinding smile
I need you
with me
walking side by side
breathing the same air as I do
for you are life.
And now that I do need.
I find that I need you most of all.

Congrats on the trophies!!

Wow. This is amazing and it describes almost exactly the way I felt about my first girlfriend. True love is forever and until you have experienced it you don't even know what it is, but after you have, it's very hard to live without it. Great job and thanks for entering my contest!

Brilliant!!
Oh my word. what a spectacular opening
to this contest. I absolutely love this piece.
It emcompasses for me the very essence of
true love. You have dazzled and swayed me
with this most passionate and compassionate write.
I can tell its from your heart because I doubt
seriously if anyone could visualize love in that
way if they haven't experienced it.
Excellent excellent job!
P.S. please do not respond until after the
contest is over. Blessings
