Analysis of Wants And Needs



You may not want to need me.
And for you this may be true.
But I am the one who is in need,
To have you at least pretend...
Wanting me around,
Is a need I should not have to ask...
If it is pretended or not.
Just to have me feel,
Wanted to do something you like...
Without comparing me to someone else,
You prefer to want more around you.
Yet not available to fulfill,
The urgency of your temporary need.
As quick as I can.
Regardless if it is three minutes.
You give me five to satisfy you.
What's the problem?
The way I see it,
Two minutes saved...
Is two minutes not wasted.
And you say I'm the one inconsiderate!
