Need/Want

[candyslut]

floating and drifting
in this paradise created by us,
we are both secure

secure in a
womb;cocooned and shielded from
palbable miseries.

I run my hands
over your face and

feel
the reassurance of your breath

as my fingers, float,
over your mouth.

I want to swallow you,
hold you;

not out of need
but out of pure, intoxicating want.

I want to make you believe,
understand,
that you are

precious
and
perfect;

you are what is needed.

I like that you seem to contradict yourself, but don't contradict yourself because you imply a nice little subtlety.

You say, not out of need, but out of want, then you say, you are what is needed.

That's really sharp and beautiful. Because it brings out that really important aspect of being needed. Often a needy feeling could be fulfilled by anyone. This person, however, is special.
