I do not need anyone.
I am strong enough to be alone,
Walk alone and dream alone.
Though in my dreams I'm not alone,
I'm strong enough to go on
without anyone there.

I don't need somebody there,
to hold me or to catch me.
I can catch myself if I fall,
I don't need to be held;
I can stand the cold.

I do not need a shoulder to cry on--
I can cry myself to sleep.
I don't need another person here for me--
I am here for me always.

I am strong enough to go on without you,
Love you though I may.
I never had the will to fight you,
So I let you slip away.

I need only me.
I only need myself to breathe.
I only need me.
There is nothing more I need.

I do not need my emotions,
prominent though they are.
Dearest of my dear devotions,
I still can live on when they are,
There and here forevermore.

Still, a void within my heart,
Where I still find that I care.
I don't need you here...
But I'm not going anywhere.

I became alone because of heart,
Claimed that I was strong.
Became alone 'cause I am weak,
Seeking to be strong.

I am strong enough to be alone,
Yet still my heart wonders.
I am strong enough to live alone,
Yet my mind still ponders.

C--------, I still love you,
Though I know you do not care.
Strong though this void may leave me,
I'd rather have you there.

I am strong enough to live without you,
But still it pains me so...
To think of you,
Everyday,
And my feelings do not change.

I am strong enough to go on,
But know I can't forget you;
Know that I can live without you,
But can't live without loving you.

So please, at least, remember me,
At least just as a friend.
Know that if I must forget anything or one,
I'd choose any other friend.
