How much do I need you?

I need you today

To picking up the pieces,

To sweep the anger and the tears,

To sweep the fear and the frustration.

I need you today,

to come and hug me,

To promise, is the

last time you hurt me.

I need you today, for you to tell me

how much do I need you?

How far my life can go without you?

To tell me, how miserable my existence,

would be without you!

I need you today,

to see you one last time.

To face my fears and tell you,

that I don’t need you anymore.

That I am a vase full of fragrant flowers,

able to put myself together and

I am not broken anymore!

I needed you today…

But it is the time to let you go…
