Is it too much to ask,
to be treated like someone's favorite book?
Open me up and read every single word of me.
Annotate and highlight the parts of me you admire the most.
Scribble down quotes i've said,
because every word is important.
I do not want to be put on the highest shelf.
I want to be eye level.
I want others to see me.
I want you to want to be able to see me,
reach out whenever you need,
and find comfort in me.
I want to be wanted, out of pure bliss and enjoyment.
