NEEDING YOU
In the heart of the city,
or the depth of the sea,
There’s a place that’s dear,
a place called home to me.

It’s not just a building,
not just bricks and stone,
It’s a feeling of warmth,
where love has grown.

But now, there’s an emptiness,
a space so vast,
A longing for a presence,
a shadow that’s cast.

Needing you,
like the desert needs the rain,
Without you,
home is just not the same.

Your laughter that echoed,
your footsteps on the floor,
Needing you,
to fill this home once more.

The rooms are silent,
the walls yearn too,
For this is not a home,
without you.

So here I am,
in this empty room,
Needing you,
to dispel the gloom.

For home is not a place,
it’s a feeling so true,
And my home, dear love,
is needing you.
