scrunchie
I crave to be the breaking light of your hollow cracked ribs,
I crave to be that melancholic upbeat song you love.
I crave to be the scrunchie you take on your little lake trips,
I crave to be the pillow on which your head shoves.
I crave to be the bracelet your best friend gave you before they left town,
I crave to be your first cup of freshly brewed coffee.
I crave to be all the people you love before they let you down,
I crave to be your favourite memory.
But most importantly , I crave to be somebody you love.
