" The Need To Feel Needed "

That age old question.. What is life about.. When asked before tonight I would have said simply.. Life is about Love. Love in every form. Period.. Thats what I would have said. But. Not now.. The " Need To Be Needed can be a close runner up and or even tie with Love. I was told tonight that literally" Nothings falling aprt while youre not here" " You are not needed here" Wow.. What an ego blow huh? That really sucked. I could never imagine how bad those words would make me feel. Some one who is supposed to love me doesnt need me? What the hell is that about? Huh? I would never utter those words to anyone I love. Period. Im shocked at how hurt I really am. I would never imagine how deeply that would hurt.. What profound words. What a profound statement to make reguarding someone's being. Or should I say dissreguaring someone's being. I would consider myself a pretty independant woman. I never really " Needed " anyone to need me or vice versa. I guess I started buying into the idea of " being Loved" and totally forgot about the dark side of opening yourself up to being hurt. How soon we forget huh? Love is blind.. Or is it?? I'm not sure if I should cry or run far far away.. Maybe, I'll do both...
