I Need You

I need you to tell me that you love me, 

I need you to tell me that you are here to stay, 

I need you to apologize for your shortcomings, 

For not listening when I speak, for not fighting hard enough for me. 

I need you to apologize for all the others, 

The ones that hurt me. 

I need you to be different and sincere, 

I need you to never give up on me, 

I need you to hold me tight, 

I need you to listen, I need you to listen to the things I say and also the things I do not say. 

I need you to understand my silence. 

I need you to be there when I need you, 

I need you to take responsibility for US, 

I need You. 

xoxo
