You can't be everything to everyone...
But what I want is so much less than that

I want to touch someone
who doesn't shrink back into the night

I want to see someone
who doesn't turn cold to my stare

Perhaps what I ask for is much more than
to be right for everyone

Perhaps to sit with someone
in ease is heathen to request

Perhaps to be cared by someone
is abominable to ask

But I just want
to be something to someone
