What I want

by rit1234

She tells me I act like I don't want her I react like I don't want her I'll admit But reactions are just that, rarely in full control But it's the things I do that I know should show I want her It's not the bed I want It's her It's not the weed I want It's the interaction with her At this point it could be cigarettes It's not the pain I want It's hearing her voice, seeing her engaged with me Its not the movies I want to watch I want to watch her watch the movie She's beautiful, graceful, and hilarious I might only get that once from her It's not the food I want, Though her cooking is my favorite It's the thought and energy behind it I want to reciprocate It's not the self satisfaction that I made her happy It's the knowledge that she IS happy It's not the home she makes I wanna come back to It's her The home could be the streets for me I wish she could feel the way I feel I wish I could be happy with her But one can't just be happy...
