If ever I come across as needing something that you do not have, please remember, I just need you. Your company. Your quality time. Not all of it. Just enough that my dance card always feels full when I want to move and shake.                                                If ever I come across as wanting anything that you do not know, please remember, I just want to belong and be loved. And love back. And live. Yes, lots of living all around. If ever I come across as harsh or bitter, please remember, I’m not finished yet. Hold on to your dessert fork.                             Taken aback, shocked perhaps, at the state of affairs as they are. If ever I seem too dark, please remember, you’re my shining star.
