I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
by Bill Kochman

I know what you really want,
It’s no reason to feel shame,
Someone to love with all your heart,
Hoping to you they’ll do the same.
Someone you can support and comfort,
Whenever they feel down and sad,
And they will likewise reciprocate,
Making your discouraged heart glad.
Someone to whom you can be committed,
Even though you see their every flaw,
And despite knowing your weaknesses,
They too will always hold you in awe.
You want a relationship that lasts,
And doesn’t fail when pressure’s on,
You’re both in it for the long haul,
No matter what troubles come along.
I really do know what you want,
And it is not a short-term game,
But just in case you’re wondering,
Darling, yes, I too feel the same.
