See me.

see me for I am more than air.

dependable

good-hearted

strong

dreamer

what else am I?

push over

someone to forget about

an afterthought.

Treat me like air,

always there.

Always there for you,

no matter what you may need.

I wish I was the ocean.

I could recede

stay away from you

away from your needs

away from your selfishness

I'm neither

I'm alive

I'm human

I'M AWAKE!

I need love and affection

like everyone else

See me

See me when I'm struggling

See more than what I can give you.

See me

in all I am

in all my needs

in all I want

in all I dream

See more than the air I can be to you.

"I wish I was the ocean.
I could recede"

brilliant! simply brilliant says i! and the double meaning i see in your closing line is also brilliant .. "See more than the air I can be to you." ..invisible but without that air... we die .. even to those who refuse to acknowledge the gifts we bring to them .. nice one!

Very strong message about the one who puts forth all the effort she just wants a little appreciation is my take on this very well written and presented

[Elie Marie]

thank you. You understood.

[W R Stowe]

Insight is a gift from God and though I was correct this time maybe not next time but some writers leave the interpetation up to the readers and your more than welcome God bless

some people can be with a significant other for years and never really notice them....so sad when that happens...

I wish I was the ocean.
I could recede
stay away from you
away from your needs
away from your selfishness
I'm neither
I'm alive
I'm human
I'M AWAKE!
