I Want

 

 
Someone to guide me through pleasure and pain
Knowing our love can survive any strain,
A firm hand to hold for walks in the sun,
Strong handsome healing when the day is done.
 
I want what you want, woman,
No more, no less.
Why would you think any different?
 
You build a tower of hopes and dreams
Precious and grand to sway in the breeze,
Yet one would think I go to extremes
When I express mine in like degrees.
 
I want what you want, woman,
No more, no less.
Why would you think any different?
 
I’ve seen your palette, its colors so rich. 
To render yourself you spared none. 
It appears the self-portrait is your niche -
Your take on me used only one.
 
I want what you want, woman,
No more, no less.
Why would you think any different?
 
I won’t cast away the friendship you sought,
But you’re not as enlightened as you thought.
