Wanting just ain’t needing, somebody really loves me

A Poem by TTBoy

I was wondering

when you were going to

 love me

Did I have to fly first

Was I good enough to be?

  

Your main thing

Happy next to you

come rain or come shine

I thought I was yours and you were

mine

  

Staying on my toes

Heaven only knows

I truly did my best

I guess I wasn’t the one

Cause you stayed on the run

Now you come to me for rest

 

But you took too long

Played the fool, now I’m strong

I ain’t the same no more

So when I ask you to leave

get up off your knees

This time, I’m gonna walk out the door

 

It felt better

when you led me on

It just gave me reason to believe

That somewhere in that heart of yours

I was just too good for you to leave

Now as time has passed

My feelings didn’t last

Somebody else truly wants me

Wanting just ain’t needing, somebody really loves me

 

I did things for you

Any other wouldn’t do

Your mama even told me to stop

My head was spinning

‘Cause I thought that I was winning

You and me were gonna be on top

 

Short lived dreams

Ripped apart at the seams

You played with so many others

I cried so much before

‘Til I can’t do it no more

Go on back to your lovers
