It Could Have Been So Simple: I Only Need You... Poem by RIC BASTASA

with you all i need
is just a very small room,
even a bed for one,
with us, no matter how small
the space, we fit,
and we do not mind the world
at all,

i travel the world,
i pack my clothes everyday
i may need much,
money and time and places,
i like to see glaciers and
geysers, and cruise on lakes
and oceans,
i fly hours and hours and land
on places that i barely know
for they have to excite me,
i need to be, i have to be,
i must please myself,
for i am dying, since i do not
have you.
