I want you to stare at me. I want you to think about me even when I’m not around. I want you to grab my hand and stand to close to me. I want you to love my laugh and love my smile and love the way I use words that don’t quite fit my personality. I want you to see me and think of our life together. I want that very badly. But what I want is hardly ever what I get. What I want is you, and you seem to be incomparably out of reach. I guess I should give up on the wanting... Can you ever even want if you've never been wanted?

I want, I want, I want
