(Addressed to YOU. You know who you are.)

SELFISH

When I’m around you
I feel selfish
Because I want more,
Not more from you,
But more of you.
I want a faucet,
Some spigot to turn on
At my convenience.
I always find myself
Wanting more of you.
But it’s not all bad.
I will always
Try to listen
If you want to speak.
I will always
Try to understand
If you tell me something.
I will always
Try to know you,
Know more of you
Because I see so much beauty
In all the facets of you
That I do know,
And I always want more.
Whatever I need to do,
I won’t shy away,
Because I so badly want
To know more of you.
