I want...

I want you to need me,
I want to come first in your life,
I want you to drop everything when I call,
I want you to catch me when I fall.

I want you to love me, like you've never loved before,
I want your world to stop, because I'm not around,
I want you to compliment me,
I want you to rejoice in my achievements with me.

I want you to remember my birthday, and do something special for it,
I want you to send me an sms, any time you feel like it,
I want you to forward me jokes from your email inbox.

I want to come home and be surprised with candle light dinner and dessert,
I want to be massaged, from head to toe, and tucked in to bed,
I want you to watch me sleep, want you to keep the blanket of my face,
I want you to wake me up in the morning, even if I'm not by your side,

I want to wake up in your arms, to protect me from the heat of the sun,
I want you to pack my bag, even though you don't understand why I had to change it,
I want you to call me in the middle of the day just to hear me breathe,
I want you to have lunch with me, just to hold my hand.

I want you to know my deepest thoughts, my fears, my dreams, my ambitions,
I want you to know when I'm upset, and calm me down,
I want you to hold my hand, at tell me all will be alright,
I want you to be happy, because I'm happy.

I want you to look at other women without fear,
Knowing that you have one woman in me,
I want you to have a life besides us,
But still respect our time together.

I want you to tell me when I'm in the wrong,
I want us to disagree, but love each other in the process,
I want you to come home late, and I'll pretend to be angry,
I want you to apologize, even when I'm in the wrong.

I want you to go to church with me,
I want you to take a walk with me,
I want you to read with me,
I want you to pray with me.
