Aristophanic Hemispheres

by Peter Saint-Andre

I needed you way before I even knew about
The things I felt and thought inside
I need you in ways I never could have known about
Until I felt this love inside
They say that to think in your mind
Is the talk of your soul
All alone with itself apart
But I know that talking with you
It's one soul and one mind
That can think in two places at once

We're two hemipsheres
Need the other half to survive
We're a perfect sphere
With you I feel so alive

But when we're apart there's this pressure inside me
Like my spirit needs to fly away to you
And when you're near I'm at peace inside
Because my spirit knows with you it is fulfilled
And when we're close all I want in the world
Is to be at one with you
And when we're one in every way I'm complete
And I live one life with you

We're two hemispheres
Need the other half to survive
We're a perfect sphere
With you I feel so alive

I want to touch the surface of my other half
And explore the way it fits so well
I want to live this sacred joy I feel with you
I want to celebrate our seamless shell

We're two hemispheres
Need the other half to survive
We're a perfect sphere
With you I feel so alive

I need you like the sky needs the sun
Like the sun needs the earth
Like the earth needs the rain
Like the rain needs the cloud
Like the cloud needs the air
Like the air needs the plant
Like the plant needs the ground to survive

I need you to survive
