I Want

I Want

I want someone to love and for him
to feel the same toward me.
I want someone to treat me
the way I should be treated,
with love, respect and tenderness.

I want someone that can afford
to buy me nice things once in awhile.
I want to be able to buy a pair of shoes
or a loaf of bread without looking at the price.
I want someone to write me a beautiful love poem
or sing me a beautiful love song.

I want someone that will give me a valentine
or flowers or a piece of jewelry on Valentines day.
I have never in my life received flowers
from a man, to me that is so romantic.

I want someone that is not ashamed to show
his affection for me in front of others.
A hug, an arm around my waist, holding hands,
a quick kiss on the lips or cheek.

I could go on and on because I
have missed out on so much in life
and time is running out.
I want someone that will be with me
for the rest of my life.

When I am sick, I want
Someone to hold my hand
and whisper words of love
and care whether I live or die.

I have so much love in me to give
Show me love and get love in return.
