I want someone

I want someone to embrace, listening to slow music and she sits in my arms, my lips upon her shoulder

I want someone to hold hands with as we walk to meet friends downtown

I want someone to wink at in public places and grin as she bites her lip

I want someone to share my longings and secrets with, and she'll protect them and support me

I want someone who will sit next to me on the couch as the rain falls, her head on my chest, hands on my legs

I want someone I can sing in the car with, at the top of our lungs with windows rolled down

I want someone who will cook meals with me, stopping periodically for tickle fights, then kissing as we get back to cooking

I want someone I can pour time and energy into, to be strong when she needs to be held, to share her in her victories and rebuild during her setbacks

I want someone who will ask me which earrings I like better with her dress as we get ready for an elegant evening out

I want someone who will work out with me, playfully yet firmly challenging me to be better

I want someone to hold at night, to intertwine my legs with as we whisper in each others ears

I want you to be that someone
