I Need

I need to feel
your arms across
the miles that now
divide us.

I need to feel your
strength encompass
me during this
most arduous task
that lies ahead of me.

I need to feel continuous
strength from your love
during the tasks that lie ahead.

I need you to stand
by me advising me
with courage and wisdom.

I need you to be
the rock I can lean
on when darkness
seems to only exist.

I need you to lead
the way to the light,
with encouragement,
patience and understanding.

I need you for I
believe you are
my one true love,
my soul mate,
my genuine friend!

I hope to share my
life with you when
this distressing
occurrence comes
to an end.
