tender gravity

I want to be extraordinary to you 
not loud 
not standing out in a demanding way 
But more like a quiet persistence 
a steady longing 
I want to be an unspoken first thought in the morning 
and the last wondering at night 
I want to be the reason for a 
rush of curiosity 
I want to be the gentle but unmistakable 
influence that colors your experience of beauty and mystery
Not your everything
just your something
that stays
even when I’m not there
