My dearest beloved
I wanted to tell you
On this day of love
That I do not need you
I do not need you
To make me happy
So you will never have the pressure
Of my contentment on your shoulders
I do not need you
To provide for my financial needs
So pursue any dream you want
Without worrying about supporting me
I do not need you
To boost my self-esteem
So if my butt really does look big in these jeans
You can say and we can laugh
I do not need you
To always act cheerful
So if you feel like being grouchy
Express it in all its glory
I do not need you
To always be a ‘man’
So when you need to be vulnerable
Do so without feeling ashamed
I do not need you
To always keep me company
So when you need time by yourself
Go without feeling guilty
I do not need you
To always wipe away my tears
So if you too are finding the world too much
You can relax, knowing I am still supported by friends
I do not need you
To always be by my side
So if you want to hang out with the lads
Go and have that beer
I do not need you
To be someone who you are not
Be whoever you want to be
And I will support you all the way
I do not need you
To make me feel complete
Because we are not two who have become one
But two who have become three
I do not need you
So I can set you free
Because I love you
And you are always dear to me
Happy Valentine’s Day
