Beauty

I am not an eye candy, 
I am a soul candy —

Perhaps,
And sometimes I may be an eye candy as well.

I like to be liked, 
Needed, and paid attention to. 

I like to be sought after, 
And I need to be appreciated. 

I like to spend some time is solitude, 
Although I need belonging, too. 

I am a part of many, 
And an individual. 

I am clever, 
So be clever with me. 

Love me tender, 
And I will pay exceptional attention to you.
