I may not need you
To make me happy;
I may not need you
To give me beauty;
I may not need you
To give me love;
I may not need you
To show me the way…
But without you
I am without you,
Without your particular happiness
To meld with mine,
Without your particular beauty
To behold in awe,
Without your particular shade of love
That embraces the world in different ways,
Without your ways
To watch in mirthful, childish wonder, and adore.
Without you…
I may not be alone…
But we do not share the same moments anymore.
We do not share the same shade,
We do not watch the same cloud,
We do not warm under the same sun rays.
And I cannot look at you,
And it is hard to impress my love upon you,
And it is only in the ether that I may embrace you…
Is it true
That you no longer wish to look upon me,
That you disdain my ways
That once you adored?
I may not need you,
But I need to know
The truth.
