i wanted to write for you

I don’t know what you see in me,

but in you

I see the world.

It’s endless and full of possibilities.

Your talent and wisdom

set you apart from the mundane

like me,

and I bow at your feet.

I long for even a glimpse

to show that you’re not perfect

because I want you to be broken

like me.

If you’ve been broken

then you know how to mend.

As selfishly as I want you

with every intention

to be like me

(broken and

scared and

full of potential)

I know you are so much better

than I will ever aspire to be.

My life with your absence

would be forgotten

and most likely over.
