I Still Need You

You grew and changed 
but I’m still me
You rearranged
That’s clear to see

I am not new
Nor refined
Not quite like you
I’m stuck behind

I still wake up
At seventeen 
In truth, asleep
My teenage dream

You’ve gone so far 
I feel confused
Though worlds apart
I still need you

Anna, Oh yeah, still like a poem that forces feels more than curses or heals. Keep up the writing, it's just. -Richard
