I Need You

I want someone to hold me tight
when im angry and frustrated 
tight enough to hear there heartbeat 
to know that I am safe 

I need someone to wipe away my tears 
and replace my pain with care 
to stand by me, and protect me and guide me 

I need someone to always be there for me 
someone to never ever give up on me 
even when things get hard. 
Too hard 

I need your touch, your affection 
to make me feel whole 
and make me feel all fuzzy inside

I need you to call me all those names like honey,
sweetie, darling and baby 
To show me how much you care and how special i am 

Whenever I am stressed out 
I need you to calm me down 
relax me, hug me and tell me everything is alright 
and it will be okay 
no matter how big the problem is

I need you to be kind 
even when you had a bad day 
I need you to love me and cry with me when i am sad 

When im rude and naughty 
I need you to forgive me 
And when I talk to you 
I need you to listen 

I need you to understand and help me with things that are hard 
And keep cool when im under pressure 

And most of all I need you to put me first and make me your everything, 
I am struggling here and you cant even see

Because I love you mum, 
but i often think whether or not you love me
