Wanting More
Here we are, just the two of us.
Were having fun together.
You never have been in a rush.
No matter what the weather.
You say you love me , but do you show it?
I want affection that goes much deeper.
I feel more like company; it’s all I get.
I want to feel that you are a keeper.
I have this hole that needs to be filled.
It’s an emotional need of mine.
Until the day my emotions are killed,
I will always have this need of mine.
I’m afraid to let you go.
Because I need you to fill this hole.
If you can’t, I really don’t know
if I can go on with this show.
We agree on most things of life.
A better friend I couldn’t find.
You stand by in times of strife.
You’re sweet, gentle, and kind.
There is more that I need from this.
It is hard to put into words.
I want to live a life of bliss.
Have you heard a word?
I need a love that captures me
and takes me to heaven on earth.
A love that stimulates me.
A love that is more than I am worth.
I don’t want companionship only.
I need more from you than that.
I want real love, not a phony.
Loving me for me is where it’s at.
I’m afraid to let you go.
Because I need to fill this hole.
If you can’t, I really don’t know
if I can go on with this show.
I want a love that will last through time.
A love written down in history.
Let generations know you were mine.
A blazing romance of mystery.
Others will be perplexed as to why
our love is such a special thing?
How it could have me flying so high,
yet, seem as common as anything?
Are my ideals set way too high?
Do I need to bring it down a notch?
Love me & we’ll write it in the sky.
Make it last forever. Start the watch.——–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
