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.
