to be wanted

to know how much you mean
to someone else
to know how you make them feel
to know it's just you
to know you didn't change for them
and they still want you
to know they'll love you in your worst moments
to be wanted
it's a fragile power
sweet as syrup
soft as silk
ready to shatter if
breathed on too hard.
it consumes you
that wanting
knowing you won't be satisfied
until you have them
and at that point
you never want to let go
for the fear of them
never coming back.
