To Be Needed
I always knew what this was.
Sure I'd smile and I'd hold you
I'd want you and I'd take you
to every place you ever saw
inside your deepest darkest dreams.
But dreams is all they were.
You needed me in ways that
air and sun could never fathom
while moon and stars watched
me introduce you to the world.
But we were never alone.
And now you've left me to be
with him and love him while
all the while pretending like
you never needed me at all.
I always knew what this was.
So now your nights can be spent
wrapped up in him and I can
go back to being high off things
I never got the chance to show you.
In the end we get what we need.
