I know I need you

Late into the solitary night

Something woke me up

I stayed awake!

My thoughts turned to you

That we had a time together,

Thinking of you

I become deaf to distraction,

You were a king in my heart

Completely mesmerized

“I know I need you…”

Believed you know…

If love comes by intuition

Embrace love, no dubious!

If love arise out of pity

Better decide not to marry

Coz it sense no longer

And if you leave me behind

Will hold my heart in agony

“Still I know I need you…”

Perhaps I live in an illusionary world

My quest for love never dies

That doesn’t pertain longer

Often I forget the pain for reality

That I had overcome

So I’ve fallen in love again

That destined never to meet

“But I know I still need you…”

In the name of love

I can’t drag you into despair

Like a bird in a cage

Dying wishes to be set free

Hoping to fly in the sky

Stretching its wings

To inhale the unpolluted breeze

Of the life far above the sky

Let life live lively

“I know I need you…”

A day when you bid farewell

I didn’t want you to say

Good-bye to me,

Coz I knew the hardship

Of concealing the spilled-over tears

And never had I wanted to see you cry.

Winters wither leaves,

Summers bring landscape distortions

But my love for you will never alter

Like the bubbles of the ocean

It will hold on till the ocean dries

Behind the unmovable mountain,

High above in the hazy clouds

Deep down in the pacific ocean,

You may choose to hide

But I know I need you

I know I certainly will need you.
