What do I need?

I need you to listen, hear me,
and draw me into a hug.

I need you to smile back,
shy away, shake your head,
give me a side look,
and mouth the words,
“you are amazing.”

I need you to instinctively
look for my hand in the crowd
and hold tightly.

Yes, I need you to know
that your hug can dissolve
my biggest tantrums.
You are my ‘mumu button’,
and I’m not ashamed to say
that you own me.
