Necessity

I taught myself to be alone

I taught myself to be unknown

I told myself I didn't need them

I told myself I wouldn't bend

Or break because I am strong

That I had been alone all along

So it didn't matter anyway

Soon enough I would go away

I lived for myself, inconsiderate

The thoughts of others, I became illerate

And I told myself I didn't need you

But that quickly became to be untrue

Because you looked at me like fragile glass

Like loving me wasn't a difficult task

And I accepted a fate that was then new

To love and be loved by you

A sensation my heart grew to require

A need now, instead of a desire

I need nothing fancy, I need no one else

I need not to only worry about myself

I am selfish with your attention

I swoon at your name, if mentioned

All I need is a person of independence

That clings onto my every sentence

Once we were apart, but that changed

That every day our heartstrings rearranged

Now I am you, and you are meAnd that is the only thing I need
