Do you really need me?

I don't want someone who needs me.

Need. Sounds romantic, but it isn't.

It's just not healthy.

That kind of dependence scares me. And not because I lack compassion, or the desire to nurture.

But in a husband? Someone I will submit to, give my life to? Someone I hope to honour, admire and respect?

Lean on me, and I will always be your support - but I'd like to be able to rest on your shoulder too - and with confidence, knowing that you've got me too.

Love me with a jealous love, a tender love, with a love that is unquenchable, unwavering, intensifying. Desire and pursue me with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Want me.

But don't need me.
