Original version
At best, your presence soothes me,
At worst, it reminds me of everything I will never have.
Like a star in the universe,
I orbit around you.
Enjoying the moments of light,
Then falling back into the dark.
Your light on me, like a second breath, helps me move forward.
I understood that all I wanted was to be seen.
Seen by you and by all of you.
To show that I exist.
To feel what it is like to be missed by someone.
To know what it feels like to be someone's attention.
Lyrai refinement
Sometimes your presence calms me deeply.
Other times, it reminds me of everything that slips away from me.
Like a shimmering star in the vast sky,
I revolve around you, dazzled.
I savor the moments of clarity
Before diving back into the shadows.
Your light directed at me is a new breath that pushes me forward.
I realized I desired only one thing: to be noticed.
Noticed by you and by each of you.
To affirm my own existence.
To feel the absence of those who matter.
To understand what it means to be in someone's thoughts.
