Is It Too Much To Ask For?

Is it selfish to want to find someone to call my favorite person? Is it selfish to want to be the reason they keep going, when they feel they can't?

Give me a moment, a word that only we can share. I want to feel the butterflies in my chest everytime you look at me, the same feeling you get when I look at you.

I want a mutual understanding that we are okay when we are sitting next to each other, when our smiles meet our eyes and when the sparkles in them dance.

I need a friendship, a connection, a love, that's stronger than anything that has made me hesitate to love myself, much less anyone else.

Is that too much to ask for?
