Quite Simply

I know you,
Like the way I know the smell of cloves
From fifty feet away.
I want you,
Like the way a five year old wants
Ice cream on a hot day.
I love you,
Like the way a pyromaniac loves
To start a fire.
I need you,
Like the way an artist needs to find
Beauty in this world.
I miss you,
Like the way a junkie misses heroin
When in withdrawal.
