What I Need

I keep it all hidden inside,
Locked away inside a treasure chest, ready to be discovered.
It contains the most precious jewels in the world -Memories,
Of the past and present, of you and I.
To me you are the most precious thing I could have.
I'm lying, in a sea of loneliness,
with nothing but my precious jewels to keep me company.

So many times you have come close to discovering them.
A diver swimming straight over the top,
not knowing the wonders he is missing out on.
I know someday when it is too late, someone will steal my jewels,
They won't be used as I would like them to be.
I need to share them with you, my prized possession.

As I sit and wait, the sea of darkness
which has engulfed me so many times before,
Strikes again.
I need you to be my light, to pull me to the surface,
I need you to revive the life I lose whenI'm not with you,
and most of all I need to sail this sea, with you by my side,
No longer drowning but proudly at the top,
By your side forever.... That is what I need.
