Need You in My Life
Distance never stops the ones who care,
it only proves how deep the roots can grow.
Busy days can’t dim what we still share,
effort finds a way when hearts still glow.
Pride may raise its quiet walls of stone,
but real devotion climbs past every ledge.
I choose to meet you where you stand alone,
not to push you, just to hold the edge.
Excuses live where exits feel like peace,
but effort stays when reasons beg to run.
I’m not here searching for a quick release,
I’m here because this bond has just begun.
Two guarded hearts once learned to lock their gate,
one built a wall, the other learned to chase.
We didn’t pick the timing or the fate,
but still we chose to stay and hold this space.
I know the shadows hiding in your past,
I know the silence that can feel so loud.
I won’t demand a bond that has to last,
I’ll simply stand here, steady, calm, and proud.
Remember Catalina, dim and warm,
two glasses clinking soft beneath low light,
we talked of ink that marks a lasting form,
a promise pressed in skin to hold us tight.
That night we laughed about the marks we’d wear,
small proof that this connection found its place,
not tattoos born from moments light and rare,
but from a bond too real to ever erase.
I see the armor built from old alarms,
and understand why reaching brings you fear.
I’m not asking you to fall in my arms,
just asking you to know that I am here.
We are not perfect, we are not the same,
two different rhythms learning how to blend.
But side by side we learn to write our name,
across a story neither wants to end.
Your quiet distance is not my defeat,
it’s just a rhythm I have learned to trust.
I’ll meet you halfway, steady on my feet,
because two weathered souls can rise from dust.
So here’s my truth, spoken plain and clear,
despite the odds, despite the storms we’ve crossed,
I choose this bond, I choose to keep you near,
because I need you in my life, whatever the cost.

Distance never stops someone who truly cares. Busy days never stop genuine effort. Pride never stops real love. When someone wants you in their life, they’ll find a way to stay connected. Excuses belong to people looking for a reason to leave. Effort belongs to people looking for a reason to stay.
