I Needed You I needed you to stand by me,
So proud of what I do,
I needed to be first in line,
Not half way down the queue.
I needed understanding,
Some encouragement at times,
I needed more than flowers,
Or a card for Valentines.
I needed deep commitment,
For the days that lay ahead,
I needed to believe in you,
Was that not what you said?
I needed you to love me,
To sometimes hold my hand,
I needed you to know me,
But you didn't understand.
I needed your acceptance,
Of the way I saw my life,
I needed you to see me,
Not only as a wife.
I needed to be free of you,
In time you brought me down,
I needed independence,
And a single eiderdown.
