I long to feel important,
To be someone's first choice,
To feel wanted and needed,
To hear my name in their voice.

It hurts to feel like an afterthought,
Like a backup plan or a spare,
To wonder if I'm really wanted,
Or if they just don't care.

I yearn for someone to need me,
To rely on me for support,
To feel the warmth of their gratitude,
And the comfort of their rapport.

I crave the feeling of importance,
To know I make a difference,
To be valued and appreciated,
For my existence, not just my assistance.

Oh, how I ache to be cherished,
To be someone's one and only,
To feel the love and devotion,
That makes my heart feel less lonely.

So if you're out there, my dear,
And you're looking for someone like me,
Know that I'm here, waiting and wanting,
To feel important and to be your key.
