Am I The One?

Am I the one...
you talk about to your friends,
who's mind you try to read,
and that you run to with a secret
that you can't help but share?
 
Am I the one...
you think about when you're alone,
who's name you always say first,
and that you want to sit with
when you're alone and in a crowd?
 
Am I the one...
you always miss the most,
who's hand you want to hold,
and you want to turn to
when you need to be held?
 
Am I the one...
who's name you call in your sleep,
you watch in a crowded room,
and that makes you smile
when nothing else will?
 
Am I the one...
you wish you could be with,
who you are always reminded of,
and that you dream about,
when you're asleep and when you're awake?
 
Am I the one...
that you love?
