Anyone
Lord,
I think I've mentioned some challenges to my faith.
Did you really mean that you would never foresake me?
If that is true, why do I feel alone in a crowd?
Why do I feel alone with family and friends?
Why do I feel safer alone?
I want to love somebody,
I don't want to need any one.
To need makes you vulnerable.
To need strips away your power.
To need makes you indebted.
To need enslaves.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
I want to love somebody.
I want to know their very consciousness.
I want to know, what is their joy.
What can I do to help them find such?
I want to know all, yes all, their hopes and dreams.
I want to be the one holding their hand when dreams
become reality.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
I want to love somebody.
I want to know what is it that
drives them to keep moving forward
when the world stops.
I want to hold them
when they scream out in pain.
I want to see them through
when their future's brightness dims.
I want to be their helper and best friend.
I want to love somebody.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
I want to love somebody.
I don't want to need anyone.
Lord, I need you. I trust you. I love you.
