“You see, I wanted you, but I didn’t need you.”
Surrender was never an option. You see, I wanted you, but I didn’t need you. The last thing I needed was to feel like giving away my heart would rescue me. I didn’t need anyone to love me, because I had a backbone that allowed me to stand on my own two feet without a crutch. I didn’t need a savior. And this war I wage within me is no one’s fight but my own. I didn’t need a knight to stand in front of me, just someone in my corner. Someone to push me to get back on my feet if I fell down. And until the day came that you understood, I would never surrender this broken heart of mine.

I wanted you in my corner,
not to fight for me.
So Beautifully penned! Very understandable except for guys who have been molded in the macho mold! LOL! It seems they derive a lot of their self worth in being a Knight in Shining Armor.

Yes, I believe a lot of guys grow up feeling like they should be the superhero and save the damsel. But with a bit of patience, I’m sure most can learn they don’t need to do anything more than be there. 😊

Yes, so true! It’s just that society keeps reinforcing this in media and entertainment! Seems guys have a bit of a flaw in this area – a Mister Fix Syndrome! Ha! Beautiful post and something we guys need to take to heart!!!
