Recognize

Some days, I think you forget who I am to you, and that's okay, that's why I'm here with you to help you remember.

When you're happy, I'm your greatest joy, your life, your passion. I am the source of your happiness because you know that you can rest in me, trust me, you can love me freely and unconditionally because I could never place a price on your love for me or mine for you. I'm your pleasure in simplicity.

When you're inspired, I am your muse, your model, your greatest composition yet…refined, constant, ambitious, endless, beautiful. I'm the fountain of knowledge that you seek when you find yourself stuck in a place that you don't like to be in, or when you have a theory that you'd rather not tell Grissom about.

When you're upset, I'm your strength, your counselor, your shoulder to lean on when the night becomes too unbearable. I am your last stop before you reach the edge, the redeeming quality that makes you love me even more. Even when you're mad at me, I'm still compassion, and compromise and I'm never out to get the last word.

When you're in the mood, I'm your passion, your frustration, your temptation. I'm your wildest dream, your fantasy, your porcelain skinned queen whom you can give yourself over to and yet still be in a position of power. I'm the height of your pleasure when you moan my name, I'm submissive to your demands and I'm the greatest climax you've ever had in your life.

When you're lost, I'm the straightened path, the light in the dark places in your heart and mind. I'm your comfort when you find yourself at a crossroads. I am the fearlessness you feel when you venture onto the unbeaten path.

And when I can't seem to reach you, I'm all of these things.

Even if you don't recognize me, I'm still here.
