I Didn’t Want To Need You

Moments of ecstacy, feeling carefree,

Only make the inevitable fall much more extreme.

Starting as friends, one night of wonder,

Left in pieces, now completely asunder.

I didn't want to need you, didn't see it coming,

How much I crave your friendship, feels so unbecoming.

Is it me that's at fault? Did I push you away?

What was it that happened, I need you to say.

Mixed feelings and jumbled signals,

It should have been so simple.

One night of unreserved passion,

Should not end in extirpation.

I believed us closer than we now seem to be,

I cannot fathom why you're doing this to me.

I don't know why I feel the way I do,

But one thing's for sure; I didn't want to need you.
