I Want...

Marie Flis

Free verse
I want love.
The real kind, not the fantasy kind.
The intimate moments.
Hard conversations.
Laughter and the tears from pain.
Knowing he always has me and always will.
Knowing that finally my heart is safe.
Wiping away his tears.
Holding him while he holds me.
Love.
