“It hurts to be needed.”
It was all you could mumble
after I said:
“I need you, to make myself wanted
so I can have someone to turn to
when he tells me it’s time for me to go
I need you, so I can feel pretty
so I can feel like I am enough
after he talks nonstop
about the girl who came before me
I need you, so that when he cheats
I’d still be able to forgive him
so that when I get played
it still wouldn’t hurt as much
knowing that there is another soul that I’ve touched
I’m sorry that it has to be this way
I am sorry for needing you
because I am afraid to deal with the pain I will be in,
if I ever lose him.”
