I need you to love me.
Without your love and attention, I lose my purpose.
When you talk to me, I remember who I am.
I hold onto every syllable that comes out of your mouth.
You make me feel.
Without you, I am lost in a world that tells me I am nothing.
Without you, I am nothing.
You give me purpose.
I go to sleep thinking of you.
I dream of you.
I spent every second thinking of you.
You fill every thought in my head with love.
You fill my stomach with butterflies.
I want to be near you, feel your presence, feel your warmth.
But for now, I am content with seeing you from afar,
living your life without the same quench of love I carry for you.
You're an artwork on display, and I'm merely passing by.
It will all pass with time.
When I see you again, I will remember you as a person I used to care for, and to you, I will have become unrecognizable.
