what i want

My whole life they’ve told me Please try not to fall. Walk tall on your own Or don’t walk at all They’ve given me reason “please don’t take a chance” analyze and think and test each new romance They’ve sought to encourage They mean to protect It is a caring for me They mean to affect But have they ever actually stared into their lovers eyes in a crepuscular afterglow? No! I know...and that makes me sad, they'd know better if they had Have they heard the cannon dale of shuddering breath? Do these well minded and well meaning souls even know what it is to be that alive? crush me if you have to I’ll take all the pain But true to my feelings I must now remain I choose you for me Now you must choose too (not two) My greatest hope now Is that you’ll choose you Don’t listen to me Don’t listen to him And for gods freaking sake Don’t listen to them The heart wants what it wants, pro tem passion can turn to permanence when you surrender True friendship asks only, what makes you happy True love cannot be quantified, analyzed, digitized but you must give in if it is to be realized So trip, and fumble, and fall, into me But most of all find the courage, and set your heart free If nothing else, you’ll become the woman you are meant to be. That’s the only thing I want.
