I Never Asked Poem by Rebecca Springsteen

I never did ask.
I never did ask you to sit by me.
I never did ask you to hold me.
I never did ask you to love me.
I never did ask you to be there for me.
I never did ask you to light my phone up.
I never did ask you to make me laugh.
I never did ask you to make me smile.
I never did ask you to look at me from a distance.
I never did ask you to take me away.
I never did ask you to lift me up off the ground.
I never did ask you to make the world brighter.
I never did ask you to make me feel silly.
I never did say, thank you.
