Just because I need to

I long to do those little things,
taking walks down the sea-face
holding your hand while we talked,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.


I loved to go out on dates with you,
where we could watch movies
beat each other at bowling games,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.

I miss all those little things we did
Though I need to let go of these thoughts,
Memories of you keep holding me back.
I loved to do all those little things,
Not because you wanted me to,
Just because I needed to.
