You may have loved me,
But I needed you to show it.

I didn't ask for the bare minimum,
I didn't ask for the world.

I just wanted you to show me love,
I wanted you to comb through my hair softly when I cried.

I wanted you to hold my hand,
To shield me from my fears.

I wanted you to understand me,
To prioritise my troubles.

You were always there,
But you were never here.

I needed your support,
Not just your presence.
