I'm like a user,
and you are my drug,
I'm going through rehab,
and it isn't fun.

I'm an alcoholic,
and you are my drink,
I'm sober a week now,
and it really stinks.

I am the salt
and you are my pepper,
We may be different
but we're perfect together.

I am the person
and you are my air,
I need you so much,
so much more than I can bear

I miss you so much,
as well you can see,
I need you so much,
my beautiful Drew Marie

This is about somebody special to me. I wrote it when I was without her on Spring Break and missing her very much.
