I want you.
My heart aches for you to see me.
Not my hair or my eyes
but the depths of my soul and heart
The shadows of every nook and cranny of my body
to the deepest parts of the ocean called my mind
I want you.
I want you to see me the way the old couple across from me on the bus, sees each other.
The way a family can sense the love and genuine care for each other from across the room.
I want you.
I want you to see me for me.
My exterior is just a shell. It's covering everything I have to offer you.
I want you.
I want you to see past my smile, awful jokes, and shitty pickup lines
Because if you look a little more, you can see me trying to hold on to you for a little bit longer
I want you.
I want you to be able to see me the way I see you.
I want you.
I want you to see me for me
The way I see myself.
I want you.
