Return


It would be nice to be needed by you.
I have many needs, so many I had
When first we met, and you met
Every one of them, you met them all
Except one - you never needed me,
Never even a little, in return.

Yes, it would be nice to be needed
By you, but I could be happy
Passing you day by day,
Returning smile for smile,
And knowing I had,
Even a little, brightened your day
