A Want & A Need Poem by Tiger Lily Love

A Want & A Need



I want to get to know you
But do I need to?

I want us to be close
But is that wise?
Or am I just plotting my own demise?

When it was time to leave
I wanted us to stay
But what my heart needs is distance
Far, far away

Never before
Have I been drawn in so fast

But even though I want you to pull me in
Maybe what I need is to remember my past

Okay, trying to get all philosophical in the Poet's notes I see, lol. But pretty nice job. Good ending.
