Everything You Need

I am water.

I am warmth.

I am shelter.

I am everything

  you need.



When you come to me that way,

  rushed and scared,

  I revive you.

  I love you.

  I hold.

    (I revive.)

    (I love.)

    (I hold.)



I am water.

I am warmth.

I am everything

  you need.

I am hope.

I am peace.

I am your

  sanctuary.



When you break down each day,

  I comfort you.

  I fight for you.

  I long for your

                 smile.



I am love.

I am truth.

I am courage.

I am everything

  you need.

I am virtue.

I am life.

I am your rock.

I am everything

  you need.

I am humour.

I am wisdom.

I am patience.

...everything

   you want.



I am you

And

You are me.

Pretty good. I was kind of surprized by the ending, but I guess I should have suspected it. Either way, it's a good poem.
