I love because I need
I love because. the hole I feel is filled.
I need, therefor I love,
A fair exchange I think, a minus for a plus

I love you now for what I think I get
But, what you give me never seems to reach that emptiness
I sense a pain, and love you more
Imagining that this will dull the hollow sound my empty makes

And time goes by; I do not like you now
because my craving would not stop its din
it cries out to me and makes me peer inside
but, I cannot face the black

You did not make it white.

We act to fill our needs. We eat out of need, we create friendships out of need, we love out of need, we marry out of need, we reproduce out of need. So at what capacity does love ever win amongst the needs. Once each need is filled you move on to a greater need. And once the need for love is filled, a greater need reveals. Is love just an afterthought to need.
Once the need is filled, you need something new. But the love does not end. Need ends. I do not need my daddy, I have a different need but I love him just the same if not more. Love weaves itself through the need. But what if what you need cancels out that which you love. What if you need understanding or a change of faces and your love is cut off.
Then has need become the winner?
You will not be the ruler of my love. You can only cut the string at one end. Love will always outlast need from my end, after all I can only control my own fate. Your needs surpassed your love.
I need comfort. I need faith. I need tenderness. I need music in the silence. I need cuddles. I need wit. I need danger. I need calm. I need understanding eyes. I need warm hands. I need snow. I need water. I need resurrection. I need hope. I need radiance. I need fighter. I need humor. I need innocence. I need wisdom.
It sounds simple. But all those simple needs, don't hold a candle to love.
I need love. Always.
