You Brighten Up My World

It’s not that I feel alone
           when you’re not around
It’s just that the colours
           in my world seem to fade
And being with you seems
            to brighten up my world.

Soft and gentle thoughts of you
cause wildflowers to bloom
within me
Memories of a brief encounter
bring tranquility like a fresh spring morning.

Sometimes all I need to do is think of you - but
sometime I need more than that -
I need you.
