I want you to be in awe of me

I want you to do anything to hear me laugh

Because you love it so much

I want you to stare into my eyes

And want nothing else but to see them sparkle at you

I want you to crave my smile

Because it's only for you

I want you to show me what you think of me

And not what I know of me

I want you to think I'm perfect

flaws and all

And yet I want to hear you say you'd never leave

I want you to be annoyed by my stubbornness

And be proud of me

I want you to look at me and wonder how you got so lucky

I want you to see me as someone you can't live without

I want you to be scared of losing me

I want you to treasure me

Comfort me

Care for me

Hold me close when I run

Kiss me when I cry

And just be there for me when I don't even know I need you

I want you to see me the way I can't imagine myself

I want you to accept me wholeheartedly

And yet with all I want

The only thing I need

Is for you to hold me and kiss my hand

Because in that small gesture

you've done more than any of the things I could ever want
