I need you
I need you to help me forget
forget I'm my own person
forget what it means to be uncertain
what it means to be alone
what it means to be unsafe

I need you to break me
break me down and then put me back together
put me back together improved
less broken, less ill-fitting, less like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit
like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit anywhere
but with you

I need you to make me feel
make me feel safe
safe and sound in your arms
make me feel like nothing could ever harm me
like no one could ever not love me
make me feel like I'm perfect
perfect for you

I need you to love me
love me so much that I cant doubt it
love me so my broken pieces glue together
love me more than I ever could

I need you to hurt me
hurt me so I forget the times I have been hurt before
hurt me in a way that makes me feel safe
in a way that feels like a kiss
passionate and full of love

I need you to be my world
I need my world to be you

I need you
and I love you
