Just sometimes
Sometimes...
I just want you to tell me that I'm important to you. That 'pillar of strength' could use a little foundation reinforcement. I have a rather fragile ego underneath it all.
I realize that I may not mean as much to you as you might mean to me, or vice versa. But if you think of me, let me know... or better yet, call me. I could use to know that I'm not completely alone.
In the vast plain of memories I know I stroll upon ones of you and I. If you have one of me, share it with me if it's funny or if it causes you to smile when thinking of me. I like to know that I'm thought of fondly.
I love you. But it's likely I'll never tell you that. I don't like to share my feelings much, it allows for vulnerability and I hate exposing myself unnecessarily. So if I don't say it enough or at all, I'm sorry. Just know that I carry you everywhere I go.
Just because I am 'strong' does not mean I don't need someone to lean on. Just because I am a good listener does not mean that I do not have anything to say. If I'm there for you, I'd like it returned, that's why I'm your friend. You are important enough to me that I 'invest' time and energy in you. I'd like to think that I hold the same status and importance with you.
I have a great many people that will come to me when their universe is falling apart and they need someone to talk to, or need someone to listen. Oftentimes I'm there to stroke egos of others when they are feeling inadequate, blue or underappreciated. Unfortunately, these 'services' are rarely returned. I end up feeling a little drained and sad afterwards anymore. I don't want fair-weather, selfish friends, partners or lovers. Damnit. Is it so much that I ask that you care about me too?
For the select few of you that give a damn, thank you!
