I Don’t Want You

I don’t want you to complete me.
I’m already whole.
I don’t want you to motivate me.
I already know where I’m going.
I don’t want you to validate me.
I already know my worth.
I don’t want you to help find who I am.
I already know.
I don’t want you to take care of.
I’m more than capable of taking care of myself.
I don’t want you to stroke my ego.
I’m confident enough on my own.
I don’t want you to fill my time.
I have plenty to keep me busy.
I have spent my life wanting and now I know it’s different than needing.
I need you to be my partner.
Be by my side through it all.
I need you to be my lover.
Know each other’s every curve and desire.
I need you to be my friend.
There can be nothing stronger than our friendship.
I need you to be my passion.
Without passion we can’t have love.
I need you to always be you.
You are what keeps me level.
I need you to be my obsession.
I want traces of you in everything I do.
I need you.
Body, mind, heart and spirit.
I don’t want you.
I need you.
