"The Only Thing I Need"

It is the brightest star 
In the night-time sky,
An addictive drug
That gets me high.
The passageway back
When I am lost,
The first sign of spring
That breaks the frost.
The songs of the bird
Which wake me in the morn,
A beautiful rose
Without the sharp thorns.
When I see your face
My happiness bleeds,
Of all the things I want
Your smile is all I need.
