The human language is an amazing thing,
You can say so much and yet never find the words you need.
Then there is the universal language of love,
A language that needs no words.
It can be seen, felt, heard and more.
All the while, not a single word said.
To translate the feelings of the heart into words of love,
This has been a great ordeal for many throughout the centuries.
This is why I need you,
I need to tell you how my heart feels for you,
As well as how I feel, for you.

There are so many ways I could tell you,
But it all simmers down to three simple words, I love you
You always tell me you love me,
In everything you do it shines brighter than the sun.
From the sound of your sweet laughter,
To the sound of love in your voice when you say "I love you".
In yours words and your actions,
I can see you're truly happy and feel loved.
I know in my heart that you love me with your everything,
And I need to show you the same, that my love for you is just as strong.
This is why I need you,
I need to tell you how my heart feels for you,
As well as how I feel, for you.

It's so hard to say what I feel,
Yet I shall always try, for you.
My heart beats for you,
And when we're apart I feel the most important piece is missing.
I long to be with you and deep down,
I feel the need to share my life with you.
Indeed absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Though you're here in my heart.
Still I miss you when we're apart,
When we're together again I feel whole and complete.
This is why I need you,
I need to tell you how my heart feels for you,
As well as how I feel, for you.

I need you to know that I'll always need you,
That I need you in my life, to share my life with you beyond time itself.
One could say a person's life is like a jigsaw puzzle,
Watching as the pieces fall into place.
With you my love I have found the missing piece,
And perfectly you have fit into my heart to make me whole.
This is why I need you, and I'll always need you,
I need you to know how my heart feels for you,
Along with how much you mean to me in my life,
My life that I will share with you for all time and beyond,
So you will always know that, I love you!
