I learned some things about myself
During this time away from you
That is I will not deny needing you

Indeed, I like to feel independent
To rely on my own strengthen
I resent pity and turn down alms
Even when I'm fatigue my pride is ever vibrant

Naturally, I will hesitate to complain
Realizing that in their whining people commit chilling treachery against themselves
Spilling their deepest secrets and weakness
Recklessly revealing their Achilles Heels
But even with my inclinations, I will no deny needing you


Before I heard that the truth sets you free
Now I can swear that it does indeed
Back when I denied needing you
Unknowingly my lies were drowning me in the deepest pool
And I had not the faintest clue how to swim
Then one day Truth came, along with Love, his twin
At that moment I recognized what I felt for you
And I let go all of my denies
In that same instance I found myself at the surface gasping for air
My life had been spared
That is why my dear
I will never deny needing you
