Sacrificing Needs

Written during freshman year.

All of the pieces fit;
you need somebody,
I need to be needed by somebody,
you need to feel needed, too.
You need,
I need,
something to treasure.

I’ve seen enough to know
the wreck you hold inside.
You’re one of few who see
that serenity is death
to me,
and that misinformed society
only sees one side of me.

And it’s funny.
It’s funny how we can part,
disappear from eachother’s lives
for so long,
but when I need somebody
you always manage to be there,
I always manage to be there.

So why sacrifice this?

Sure, it would be wonderful,
almost even perfect,
to collide in this empty space.
But what happens when it’s gone?
Everyone, everything,
it all dies.

Best friends;
I would never sacrifice this,
not for the life of me.
So I’ll just stay and be here
until you find what you need.
