I want to be
the life
of your party.
I want people
to whisper,
"Not until
Sarah gets here."
With flushed
cheeks
and pooling eyes.

I want to be
the reason
you slow down
and savor.
I want to be
the reason
you showed up.

I want to be
the life
of your party.
I want people
to steal your
phone,
dialing my phone
with stumbling
fingers,
and groggy sight.

I want to be
your intent
in sitting
and watching
for me.
I want to be
the reason
time goes slowly.
I want to be
known for
showing up late.
I want to be
the life
of your party.

((Yes, this needs som DEFINITE improvement.))
