All That I Was But Never Could be The One

When she was lonely,

I became her friend.

When she was worried,

I became her comfort.

When she was sick,

I became her cure.

When she wanted to fight,

I became her sibling.

When she wanted to care,

I became her pet.

When she wanted to sleep,

I became her dream.

When she was happy,

I became the reason.

When she was sad,

I became her therapy.

When she was angry,

I became her punching bag.

When she was sleepy,

I became her mother.

When she was tired,

I became her father.

When she was hungry,

I became her cook.

When she wanted attention,

I became her fan.

When she wanted to read,

I became her author.

When she wanted to be praised,

I became her poet.

I was all that she needed,

The one who waited, who bent, who stayed.

But when she wanted love,

I could never become her one.

I gave all, I became all I could be,

And still, I could not bceome the one.
