The One You Cannot

I don’t want to be the one you forget
I want to be the one you cannot.

I don’t want to be the woman you get a text from
And shut off your phone.

I want to be the one you get a text from
And smile at your phone
Regardless of where you are.

I don’t want to be the one you thought of
When you had nothing going on.

I want to be the woman that ran through your mind
At all the wrong times,
Distracting you from monotony.

I don’t want to be the woman
You skim the surface with.

I want to be the one you dive deep into her soul
Finding all the dusty corners of her mind
Touching every single part of her
Many times
Through many years.

I don’t want to be just anyone
To you.
I want to be the air you breathe
The food you eat
The ground you step on
The bed you sleep on
The water running over you
The towel that dries you
The comfort of forever
And the unease of tomorrow.
