Can I be
the one who can
make your days better
by just smiling?
Can I be
the one who
you can come to
when nothing
feels right?
Can I be
the one who
encourages you
to chase
your dreams?
Can I be
your first thought
in the morning
and your
last thought
in the night?
Can I be
the one who
hugs you when
your world
is falling apart?
Can I be
the one who
fights your fears
when you're afraid?
Can I be
the one who
protects you from
the demons
in your sleep?
Can I be
the one who
knows you
even better than
yourself?
Can I be
the one who
loves every little detail
you hate
about yourself?
When nothing
is right,
Can I be
the one
you call
for help?
Can I be
your escape
from reality?
Can I be
your one
and only?
