I don't need the moon

I need you like a rose needs the sun.
I need you like the earth needs the rain.
I need you like the ships on the sea need starlight to guide them through the dark and shallow night.
I need you like all these things, but I don't need the moon to guide me when I'm lost because I have you to shelter me, to save me to, hold me in your arms and never let me go.
So, if I am a rose, then you are my sun and if I am the earth, then you are my rain, and if I'm on a ship, then you are my stars and when I am without moonlight to guide me through my sorrows, you are my bright and shining moon!
