Searching in darkness

Searching in darkness
Last night I had a dream.
I saw something deep within my minds eye.
I was talking to you on the phone.
Some things were said between you and me.
Some in jest and some that were not.
But it made me think.
We started to talk.
I know that you have been raked over the coals of life.
And so have I.
We said that to each other.
But things are not always what they seem.
We both know that and there is no way past it.
You have part of what you need in your life with me.
And I have par of what I need with you.
You need tenderness and understanding and I need to be loved.
You need a lover that can be a friend and I need a friend that can be a lover.
You need compassion and I need security.
You need someone to hold you when you cry.
And I need someone to tell me that it is okay to cry.
You need a touch of magic in your life.
I need someone that will let me hold them deep into the night.
You want to be swept away by someone that cares for you as much as they want you.
I want someone that will want me as much as they care for me.
I have searched the world for the one that is right for me and so have you.
Perhaps we have missed what is right in front of us?
