Co Dependent??
I needed you then. I need you now.
You could always show me how.
You would show me a better way.
That’s why I wanted you to stay.
Time has passed, but little changed.
I tell you truly, I still feel the same.
As usual, you have much work to do.
I know you will help me see it through.
I wanted more. From the very start.
You reigned me in. It’s quite an art.
You kept me from becoming a fool.
That is why I will always need you.
You rule my very soul.
I pray you’ll never go.
Without you, I would be lost.
I want you near at any cost.
You never asked a thing in return.
You acted as if you weren’t concerned.
I am willing to do all you need.
It has always been my creed.
But, that’s not how I want it to be.
You mean so very much to me.
All I do is done in love from my heart.
That’s why I wish we will never part.
I wanted more from the very start.
You reigned me in. It’s quite an art.
You kept me from becoming a fool.
That is why I will always need you.
You rule my very soul.
I pray you’ll never go.
Without you, I would be lost.
I want you near at any cost.
