When I was married, I struggled with feelings of abandonment and neglect. Of course I did eventually find out she was having affairs, but non the less while we were together, it tore me apart to feel like that. I tried lots of ways to try and change things. But none of them worked. She made me feel like I was asking for too much when all i was trying to say was this:

There are times
I need you
to have a chat with me
or make me laugh.

There are times
I need you
to hug me
or hold my hand.

There are times
I need you
to listen to me or
tell me how you feel.

There are times
I need you
just to sit close to me.

For when
youre next to me
I know Im loved
and I know I'm safe.

So its okay even if
theres nothing to be said.
As long as youre
next to me.

Maybe if I had put that in a card or on a note and left it for her, it would have said it better than when I would bottle it up and then it came out in confrontation.... but its too late for me to know...
