All I Want


16 May 2014

 

All I want is to be remembered.

I want to be in your best memories,

Or maybe even your worst.

It doesn’t matter what kind, but remember me for something.

Truth is I don’t want to come off as the girl that made you mad,

Rather the girl that made you smile.

 

My life goal is to be that person that made you feel good,

Be good,

Love good,

Laugh good,

Live good.

All I want to do is make you feel the best you can be.

 

Simply, that’s what I try to seek;

The pleasure of a genuine smile.

Our pleasures may be in different intellects

But the two generally exist together, pure euphoria

I’ll do what it takes to make you at least curl the corner of your lips.

You know that sometimes I may be absurd or giggle too much

It may seem harsh at times but I believe that every essence of genuinity can make a person smile.

On the other hand, comedy can follow.

It arouses another sense that nearly every one possesses;

laughter; smiles; the cringe of an eye

 

I want to be that person you call up a few years later, even if we kept in touch or not,

And maybe just check in or have a cup of coffee.

It doesn’t matter.

If you remember, I feel loved,  

it’s like when you get kisses from your special someone.

I understand it’s a bit odd, but that’s my life goal.

 

The classic and rather cheese;

live, laugh, love

Honestly is what I strive for

For others and myself.

It’s simple yet it makes sense

 

Though I could continue

And trying to say….

I want  is to be remembered.

That’s all I ask

Don’t forget me, okay?
