I Pick You

I pick you

Karyn Indursky

I pick you
to open my heart to
and expose what's really there.

I pick you
to express myself to
and let wander in my wake.

I pick you
to understand me
and guide me through.

I pick you
to hold my hand
and let me cry.

I pick you
to be there for me
through thick and thin.

I pick you
to be here
when I call.

I pick you
to be here
when I just want a shoulder or a hand.

I pick you
to be here
when I crumble.

I pick you
to help me
gather the pieces and put them back together.

I pick you
to expose me
to me.

I pick you
to allow me
to grow.

I pick you
to lead me
and let me trail off at times.

I pick you
to laugh with me
when I think the world's going to give way underneath me.

I pick you
to yell at me
when I'm being irrational or stupid or stubborn.

I pick you
to show me
what I miss.

I pick you
to let me see
what I can't.

I pick you
to tell me
what I can't or don't hear.

I pick you
just to be you.
