I Need You


I thought I needed you, 

Desiring your presence 

Or your reassuring words

Not anymore

Others have not relieved the pain

The thoughts of yearning do not cease

Nonetheless, I must endure

Every moment discarded

Eventually withering me away into nothingness

Don't come back

I have already decided

That your happiness outweighs my own
