How I want you to feel

 

I want to be whom you talk to

When you converse with yourself,

I want to be the wall around

When loneliness surrounds you.

When you keep your silence

I want to be your philosophy,

I want to be that which makes you

Forget that you need company.

I want to be the reason

That makes you sit with yourself.

I want you to not feel 

That you own anything

Instead, dwell on the thought

That you never had to do.

I want you to want me 

Even on days when you think you don't.

I want you to feel the ease,

That stays with you during my absence.
