I wanna be the pillow he holds close: just so I can be in his arms.
I wanna be the security system his fingers caress when he gets home: just so I can keep him safe.
I wanna be the flowers he gets on his doorstep: just so I can be appreciated.
I wanna be the umbrella he works like a model: just so I can protect him from the storms of life.
I wanna be the postman who delivers his mail: just so he'll think I'm dependable.
I wanna be the girl he cries about: just to know I mean something to him.
I wanna be the lie he tells to himself every morning when he says he's okay: just because he's so familiar with it.
I wanna be everything I'm not: just so he'll notice me.
We're just two connecting pieces in a puzzle, peanut butter & jelly on a piece of bread, and icy water and a sweating boy on a summer's day.
He just doesn't know it yet.
