A necessity, you have become.

The way the stars needed the silver moon.

The way the clouds needed the blue sky.

The way the flowers needed the sacred earth.

The way the fishes needed the wide sea.

The way the body needed the beating heart.

The way the person needed the ever lasting soul.

I needed you.

It was the last day of school.
A day I have been draiding.
A day I wished would never come.

I did not want to be apart from you.
I did not want to spend a single day without you.

Along my selfish desire, there was a nagging feeling growing inside of me, fear.

I used to be afraid of talking to you.
I used to be afraid of meeting your eyes.
I used to be afraid of getting rejected by you.

But all of that was before.

Now, I am afraid of losing you.
I am afraid of having a life without you.
I am afraid of going back to what our relationship used to be like; stolen glances and aching hearts.
