You

I’ve always been the one to do everything,
Always the one that creates a life,
Lives it and makes it all that it needs to be.
I’ve changed you, found you, loved you, but I’ve
Never needed you.

You’ve always been the one that they adore,
But I’m wondering what they’d do if they knew,
All the things that you do to me,
All the things I go through to be with you.

I’ve always been the favorite one,
And this life that we’ve created is more than asked for,
But I’m wondering how long I can be with it.
I’m growing up and you’re slowing down,
I’m moving on, you’re standing still.

And I need to move, I need to keep it going.
I need to be independent, I need to be loved,
Not needed.

It seems anymore that life is moving us apart,
And the words are changing who we are.
I have found myself, I have loved and lost,
I have grown into who I am,
Have you?

I’ve always been the strong one,
Always the one that takes what I have and uses it,
Creates something that I need and want.
I’ve changed you, as they say, found you, loved you,
But,
I’ve never needed you to be who I am.
