I miss you.

I long for your affection.

I struggle for your attention.

I don't need you.

I am strong.

I am my own shoulder to cry on.

I may want you but i do not need you.

I will always love you but i do not always hope to hear your voice on the other side of the phone.

Crying turns to smiling.

You are a great memory of the past but

You are not invited into the gates of my future.

 Come back

 Walk Away.

Stop yelling at me.

Im breaking.

Help.

I dont want you to go 

I dont need you
