All I needed was a shoulder to lean on <br />I would never have soiled it with my tears <br />Just a place to rest my weary head <br />Just as I offered you mine <br /> <br />All I needed was someone to acknowledge my pain <br />I would never have caused you no harm <br />Just a word or two to soothe and heal <br />Just as I soothed and healed you <br /> <br />All I needed was to talk to someone who would listen <br />I would never have taken too much time <br />Just an ear to whisper my fears <br />Just as I heard your whispered fears <br /> <br />All I needed was a friend to share a laugh and a smile <br />I guess I was wrong for everything is conditional <br />There is no unconditional <br />A laugh for laughter <br />A smile for each smile <br />A tear for each tear <br />But no friend for a friend<br /><br />Lilac Wine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-i-needed-was/
