Needs and Wants

We have everything, but not ourselves

We have everything, but not our friends

We have everything, but not our love

We have everything, but not what we want

We ran behind everything, except for what we want

This is what I want, the heart whispered

but where will it take you, the brain hinted

So we left what we want, for what is safe

That’s how we left ourselves

We ran far and wide

Across oceans and seas

for what we thought we need

That’s how we left our friends

The love was too strong,

You felt you’ll never be wrong

But somewhere in that run for the needs

We left the need for our love too

So now we stand here

with all that we thought we’d need

But with nothing,

that we really wanted…
