this is what I want from you

I ask for nothing much.

Stay beautiful-

no difficult task:

Talk to me.

Listen to me.

Understand me.

If something is wrong,

tell me.

Trust me.

Confide in me.

Think about me.

Be faithful to me.

Love me?

Show me.

Want me.

Show me.

Hug me.

Kiss me.

Touch me.

Kiss me more.

Please please me.

Then hopefully I can change your mind,

so you will

eventually

want to

marry me.
