Wishful thinking

a poem by Anil Kumar P K

I don’t want you
I need you.
For that smile that sparkles my day
For the fight that gets us closer.
For that shoulder for my head.
For those short moments that hold an eternity.

I don’t want you
I need you.
For those nights that make my day.
For that bond that sets me free.
For those eyes that help my heart beat.
For that reflection I see of myself.

I don’t want you
I need you.
For that body that’s transparent.
For all the contradictions that merge at one place.
For that one life which can end anytime.
For me who realised recently, life is worth living
I don’t want you
I need you.
