I Needed You Too

Everytime I gave you my all But you weren’t there when I took a fall When I would tell you how much I care I needed you, but you weren’t there When I would go out of my way for you It was because you needed me, but I needed you too When I needed to be at my happy place You’d say I’m taking up too much of your space When I would always comfort you It was because you needed me, but I needed you too When things in your life were really tough When everything just seemed too much I’d say the right things and I’d really come through Because you needed me, though I needed you too When no one understood you or even cared I’d find new ways to always be there I wasn’t just a girlfriend, a supporter and comforter too I needed you too, but instead I was there for you When you couldn’t say how you feel about me I’d never fail to be the best girlfriend I could be Yes I often needed you, but you always failed to see That I needed you just like you needed me When how bad your day was you would tell I listened, but you didn’t ask did my day go well I listened, because you needed me to Forgetting that I needed you When you wouldn't care The next day I’d still be there Sometimes I’d shout “Can’t he just see” “Just how much he is hurting me” Sometimes I needed you to show me just a little love A small gesture to me would be enough But if it wasn’t about you You simply forgot that I needed you too I couldn’t fight so hard no more And so I had to close this door When you look back on everything and wonder what to do Just remember when you needed me, I often needed you too By: BE Bailey

Thank you so much Kelly. I agree with your comment. It is so true and yet so sad that many people don't realize that, but I believe that my moment in life will come soon and it is going to take my breath away. They say: "God is never early and never late, it take a little patience and a lot of faith, but it is worth the wait" Thank you for allowing me to take part in your contest. Have a blessed day. Hugs "B

A true depiction of how one party may not show equal love. Love gets meaning when it is reciprocated with equal intensity. It's never a one-way traffic. 7+!
