Want (Love) -Poem

want

i want to feel loved. i want to feel loved. i want to pretend... that we are in love.

the next day i want the euphoria of it on me

like a dream

no attachment to it

just a smile across my lips

a glaze over my eyes... as if I just woke from dreaming

what do i want?

i want breif love

i want passion and sensuality

i want to be cared for as a person

and when we aren't physical, we talk and enjoy each others company.

and when we are physical, we don't fuck or have sex; we 'make love'

i don't want my other half. i want compatable.

i want someone i can hold onto for now

to love

to pretend i'm in love

just to have something right now

cuz I feel so starved

that my soul is aching

for a spark to ignite my life

for a joy so bountiful that I can fill my heart with it and feel whole

and I want someone to remind me of my greatness

and I want someone to care for

i want someone to dance with

when there is no music playing

i want to know where the constellations are in the sky

i want a reason to look at them and wonder

if someone sees the same stars, is watching the same moon

I want to know that if I will cry, that there will be someone to hold me

that they can bring me to happy giddiness, so that I learn again to cry for joy

to laugh so hard my sides ache
