I don't know what I thought I was going to find. All I knew is that you wanted me to come and I wanted go. So I went. I see it, now. You look this cute all the time. It doesn't matter how chaotic your surroundings are; You remain adorable, and I am in awe. Your heart wants validation, is desperate for affection. I could give it to you; and in a way, I do. But it's not my role. You have gravitated to me because I can meet your needs. But I can't, fully. I can be a reminder that you still have it; That you are beautiful and intelligent and all-around amazing. But that's what I am; a reminder. It's a delicate tension you have, Wanting for yourself and wishing that I had someone else. We can't be what we never would admit we wanted; And what we are now is complicated, at best. I adore you. If I could, I would make sure you never forgot those words. But I can't; it's not my role. I will treasure this time and will be what you need me to be. That isn't what either of us want, but it will be what we need.

Want vs. Need
I don't know what I thought I was going to find. All I knew is that you wanted me to come and I wanted go. So I went. I see it, now. You look this cute all the time. It doesn't matter how chaotic your surroundings are; You remain adorable, and I am in awe. Your heart wants validation, is desperate for affection. I could give it to you; and in a way, I do. But it's not my role. You have gravitated to me because I can meet your needs. But I can't, fully. I can be a reminder that you still have it; That you are beautiful and intelligent and all-around amazing. But that's what I am; a reminder. It's a delicate tension you have, Wanting for yourself and wishing that I had someone else. We can't be what we never would admit we wanted; And what we are now is complicated, at best. I adore you. If I could, I would make sure you never forgot those words. But I can't; it's not my role. I will treasure this time and will be what you need me to be. That isn't what either of us want, but it will be what we need.
This doesn't mean I don't want you.
