What I Want to Be

A poem for friendship.

I want to be the sound
Of love
Beating deep in your heart.

I want to be the soft rise and fall
Of each moment
That you take a breath.

I want to be the queen
That sits upon the throne
Of your kingdom.

I want to be the tears
That you cry
Both for joy and for sadness.

I want to be the vision of beauty
That you see
With your heart.

I want to be the joy
In your eyes
When we meet in the same space.

I want to be the smile
On your lips
When we see each other for the first time.

I want to be the soul
That you come to for
Understanding and compassion.

I want to be the light
That you seek
When you need encouragement.

I want to be the feeling of home
That I felt inside me
The moment that we became friends.

I want to become
More with you
Then I ever was before by myself.

I want to be what I am.
