She needs him to be a father figure
She needs a role model and a leader
She needs to know that he’ll always pick her
And a pinky promise he’ll never leave her

She needs someone that she can confide in
To be emotionally connected
She needs someone who can understand her
She needs to know she’s truly accepted

She needs him to nurture her inner child
She needs a safe space so she can regress
She needs him to handle things for a while
To unburden herself from all of life’s stress

She needs to be able to be herself
She needs to not have to keep it locked in
She needs to be free from any judgement
She needs to be loved for who she really is

She needs him to give her all his attention
She needs him to eat Trix and watch Care Bears
She needs him to love her with purest intentions
She needs him to help her forget all of her cares

She needs him to be her teacher and mentor
She needs to know that she makes Daddy proud
She needs for him to mold her and train her
And spank her when she does what she’s not allowed

She needs Daddy to push her on the swings
She needs Daddy to build a blanket fort
She needs him to know all of her favorite things
She needs toys and stuffies of every sort

She needs him to text her throughout the day
She needs him to always make her feel loved
She needs him to always make time to play
She needs him to give her the things she dreams of

She needs him to make her soup when she’s sick
She needs him to pick her up when she falls
She needs him to kiss all her tears away
She needs him to love her despite any flaws

She needs him to always hold her hand
She needs him to sit her on his lap
She needs him to always hold the door
She needs him to stroke her head while she naps

She needs him to always kiss all her owies
She needs him to always help her feel better
She needs him to draw her a bubble bath
She needs to be little and he needs to let her

She needs him to tuck her in at bedtime
She needs him to fill her with joy and laughter
She needs him to read her fairy tale stories
She needs him to be her happily ever after
