December 23,

Or was it January 24?

———

You came to see me

When I needed you

But you brought with you –

Your needs.

———

Eighteen months later

My head finally cools.

———

You were ahead of me.

I want to be needed

But I didn’t serve your need,

I drove you away

———-

And you won’t come back

Which is ok

Because I understand

It’s not you that I need.

And your need not to be needed.

————

I speak too much of needs,

I would speak more of gifts,

But this is, of

December 23,

Or was it January 24?
