The Heart Wants

Everyone out there wants something.

Maybe it’s wealth, beauty, or fame.

 

As of now, I don’t want those things.

I want someone.

 

I want someone that loves me for me.

Someone that sees the darker parts of me, and stays.

Someone that doesn’t run when storms are approaching.

 

I want someone that will fight for us

.

You don’t have to be perfect, because Lord knows I’m not.

 

If you have issues, I will help you.

If you are hurting, I will care for you.

If you stay and love me…

I promise I will love you with every ounce of my being.

 

*I just want to love and be loved.

Is that too much to ask for?*

 

- j.m.
