Can I?

Can I be the fire that not only warms you from without?
But also from within?
Can I be your moon so when you venture out
You know I’m still watching?
Can I be your best friend
You know
The one you can confide in?
Can I?

Can I be the air that circulates around
Encouraging you to breathe on?
Can I be the puzzle?
You know
The one that always seems to get your attention?
Or can I be the one whose name
You never fail to mention?
Can I?

Can I be the rays in your sunshine?
Can I be the one you think about
With a deep and meaningful smile?
Can I be the wind
To blow away your fears
Can I be the earth
To absorb any of your hidden tears
Can I?

And If I can’t

Why?
