I want to be a plant in your window,
coated by the sun you let in each morning
watered with
emotions others don't get to see.
Maybe a fish in your aquarium,
willing to listen to your problems,
fighting for your affection but
happy just watching you.
I want to be words on your page,
set in lines, finally just the way you want them
after hours
searching out the right ones to get your point across.
I want to be the
eyes that look out at you
when you look in the mirror.
I want to be
a good opening line,
good enough to leave you wanting more.
