Even Though I Know Poem by Varsha Tellapur

I want someone to tell me I'm beautiful,
Even though I know im not.
I want someone to tell me im strong,  
Even though I know I'm not.
I want someone to tell me I'm loved,
Even though I know I'm not.
I want someone to tell me im right,
Even though I know I'm not.
I need someone who tells me they care,
Even though I know they won't.
I need someone who tells me they love me,  
Even though I know they wont.
I need someone to help me through life,
Even if they know they won't.
I need someone to push me on,
Even if they know they won't.
I have someone who loves me dear,
Even if they have their flaws.
I have someone to bring me up,
Even if they are down.
I have someone to call me theirs,
Even when I'm not there.
I have someone to make me smile,
Even if they make me cry,
Only when they walk away.
I wanted someone.
I needed someone. 
I had someone.
