Sometimes

Sometimes I feel as if I need you again,
but then I come to realize I can barely stand to be your friend.
Sometimes I cry and tell myself that I miss you,
but in all reality it's just the thought of you.
A women needs no man that doesn't need her.
And I sure as hell don't want a guy who can't even see my worth.
When I see you in the halls I smile at your face.
And then when you walk past I realize it's not all that great.
I don't need you in my life.
And although sometimes I feel like I do,
I know that who I have in my life right now
loves me much more than what you could ever prove.
Sometimes I feel as if I need you again,
but then I come to grips and realize that you are a boy and I need a man.
Sometimes I cry and tell myself that I miss you,
but in all reality it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
I don't need you, if you don't need me.

Need and old want can play tricks on us.
"Sometimes I cry and tell myself that I miss you,
but in all reality it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
I don't need you, if you don't need me."
The heart can try to trick the mind. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Amazing truth and insight on a struggle. I understand this is focused on a loving point of view between a man and a woman however I see it with some friends as well and have experienced it first hand multiple times. "Sometimes I cry and tell myself that I miss you, but in all reality it's just the thought of you." This really hits home since I've done it so many times for a friend that walked out of my life after years of time together. I don't know if I could have found as great words to express the feeling. Missing the thought, huh? Maybe the thought of the happy times that were few but still burning inside.. Very nice work. Keep writing truth!

Thank you so much. I try to write as truthfully as possible, for I like to write about things my readers can relate to
