A poem to my friend

I have been told that I can do it all That I need no one else. I am sufficient all by myself But I know this cannot be, I need you near me I cannot do it all, not while I am all alone

I need you to cheer me up when I am sad I need you to guide me when I am lost I need you to help me up when I fall Then I know I can do it all, but not alone Not without you. I need you!
