Don't Need

January 27, 2010
By Anonymous

I don't need white roses
To know how you feel
I don't need a love song
To know this is real
I don't need their thoughts
On our "you and me"
I don't need their permission
For our love to be
I don't need the wine
And the candlelight dinner
I don't need a walk
To know you're a winner
I don't need the park
To watch a sunrise
I don't need an oath
To keep away lies

I don't need these things
But what I insist
I just need to find you
And see you exist

In the purest form, love is simple (no, really!). The only problem left is to find someone to share it with.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
