The wallflower's moment

Born a wallflower,
I would like to be invisible
To the world
Unfettered as I pass by
Unnoticed
Relieved
A sigh of thanks
For not having to
Meet any eyes
Make any platitudes 

I would like to be 
Unseen
By the eyes of
The whole world
Except for yours

For you, 
I would like
To see me
In full detail
I would like you
To know me
To recognize me
To remember me
And to come to me
When you need
A shoulder, a hand
An ear, a heart, a soul
And anything else
That I forgot to mention

If you were a lover
Maybe
This would be
Narcissistic
But since you are
My offspring
I guess
My effusions are
Expected and 
Accepted
