Who I Need

I need him

I always will.

When I'm hurting

he always knows.

I can't lose him,

he means the most,

so why must I grow

and leave my dad.

I will always need him

no matter how old,

but I must leave him

so I can be on my own.

I'm not ready

to leave the man I love,

but I know that I will

soon enough.
