A Heart That Needs Beats

a day that needs to be hot
a night that needs to be cold
a person that is confident
a person brave and bold
some ice that needs to melt
a fire that needs some heat
a voice needing to be heard
a heart that needs a beat
a book that needs to be read
a song that needs to be sung
a guitar that needs to be played
a bell that needs to be rung
an emotion that needs to be felt
a tear that needs to be seen
some dark in the light
what does it mean?
