What do I want?

Have you ever asked me that?

It would be nice if you did.

Because

I want you.

I want you to love me like the world ends tonight

I want you to hold me with the care you would give to a newborn

I want you to look at me like you’ve never seen anything so beautiful

I want you to guard me with your life and

Cherish me like fine gold

I want to be loved by you

I want to love you too

I want our hand-holding to be something others will be jealous of

because it will be so great and

our immense compassion would radiate from

our inseparable hands

our

inseparable lips.

I want all this.

I just wish you would have asked.
