See me for who I am
Look at me, not through me
Love me, don't use me
I am the one who cries for you
worries for you
I am your friend,
lover
conscience
I am not an after-thought
your second choice
or consolation prize
I am the best thing that ever happened to you
but you don't see that
I would give you the stars and the moon
if you asked me to
Kiss me
caress me
devour me
Not because I fill a temporary need
but because permanent is all you think about
when you think of me
See me
only me
the one that loves you so
