Once upon a time,
Since when do poems need to rhyme?
Since when do stories need to start that way?
Since when do I need a safety plan?
Since when does a woman need a man?
Since when do I have relationship pain?
Since when do I have anything to gain?
Since when do I need you?
Since when have I blue?
But for me these things are true,
And because I need you,
I hope you need me too.
