I Don't Need Anything Except
by

I don't want you to fill my loneliness-
Or take away my pain,
I don't want you to hold me always,
Or shelter me from rain.

I don't want you to change your life-
Or wipe away my tears,
I don't need you to make me laugh,
Or whisk away my fears.

I don't need a soggy shoulder,
When I'm feeling blue-
I don't need a helping hand-
Or gentle push from you.

All I need is someone now,
To see what I have seen-
I need someone who knows my feelings,
Not was my heartache clean.

I don't need empty promises,
Of happiness or the earth,
I don't need you to do it for me,
I can handle my rebirth.

I just need your understanding-
Encouragement, be my friend,
Let me face my perils, and I'll not stand in your way-
I am looking for beginnings, not another end.

I do not need anything,
Except to know you care-
That you would take it if you could,
And that you WILL be there.
