My Prayer

Thank you
But I don't need no words
Not now. Not ever.
I don't need no comforting
I learned how to do that by myself
Actually,
I need nothing.

Nevertheless,
Thank you
I really do appreciate
You being here and all
Whoever you are,
Listening to this
Caring
It's important
It's endearing
It's why I choose to be here
With you

Just call me by my name
Share dinner with me
It's all I need to go on
To forget or accept
To be able to once again
See a sweet dream
When I close my eyes

So then, I could live
The continuation of such a dream
Be it in your arms
Or just in your companionship
Till the night falls
That'a all I need
True company

And so, I pray
To thank you
For being here
Not for your words,
For I am too cynical
To believe such love
Not for your comforting,
For I am too fragile
To accept such kindness
I thank you for myself
Who has nothing
But you
Filling my heart

The dreams you made me remember
The feeling of wanting to come back
The strange emotion of belonging
Beside you

Is priceless
I need nothing,
Besides that
