Need You

I don't know how I got to need you so much. 

We let it go and I was okay, I thought. 

But now you've gone with her and she gets 

your kisses and hugs and "I love you's"

and she gets to hold your hand and run 

   her fingers through your hair and sleep

on your chest. 

Yeah, I'm still alone 'cause I'm waiting for you   

to realize she's not me.

But I still don't know how I got to need you 

so much.

This's shame that people betray people. Means, one heart cheats on another. In today's age, it's quite common to cheat on each others. Faithful love's being mistaken around the threads of modernity but I guess.. still there's some vibes of faith remnant in this world which make the heart only longing for having true love not the wasteland of its craps. I'm terribly sorry to hear 'bout your love-life, but sometimes... some things happen on purpose not to tease your soften heart but to lead you beyond the tint of romance - the faithful one. May God Bless You!

Simple, honest, nice. Invent a cool one syllable verb to run with here. The best writers aren't tethered to rules

Thanks for reading and reviewing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is a nice piece, I've been down this road and will never again
allow myself to need someone so much, it totally took away from
concentrating on taking care of myself, I'm not saying that's
what your doing, just figured I'd share. I really enjoyed this, it made
me think! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

Beautiful and gentle words. I liked how you described the need for another. The questions of love need time and life together. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You have a way of expressing what most of us have felt at one time. It's really hard to let go sometimes, even when it's for the best.

I'm glad it's relatable, thank you so much Craig!

I could feel the emotion in this write, it's hard to let go of those we love. This really hits home with me at the moment because I'm trying to move on and not think of someone so much lol

Good Job

[K.]
