No One By Two ~ Ananya Syal

You want me.

When I glow,

My smile and my laughter.

My eyes filled with hope.

The dreams that make me dance.

I am the night sky, too, dark and hazy.

I am the cloud that hovers but delays the rain.

I am the thunder and the storm.

I am the lighting.

You want me.

But only parts of me that are filled with light.

What about the dark and grey that help me shine bright?

And here you are again, asking me why I won’t have you when you want me.

You want me.

But you want only a part of me.

While I want the whole of you,

I want you to have all of me too.

Darling, I don’t come in pieces,

You can’t pocket me.
