"What I Need"

"What I Need"

What I need is what has hurt me most
For once I'm looking for these ghosts
The worst pain that has ever been dealt
Was after the greatest joy I've ever felt

This time I want something more though
To be loved back is something I want to know
I want to meet someone that with I can connect
Someone that will show me love, comfort and respect

I've left the pain of my troubled past behind
Except for insecurities that dot my sound of mind
But I try to be possitive and open to what's ahead
No longer am I filled with that nagging dread

I will find my love that patiently waits for me
But I refuse to be found in the amidst of emotional debris
I will love again for this I am certain and sure
And it will once more be with a heart true and pure
