What I Want

What I want

I want a lot of things

I am sure you do, too

I want your affection

And to assure me of it I need your attention

I want to see your face light up

When you see I am there

I want to see you frowning in concern

When you see I am a bit down

I want you to be there

Even for the most little of things

I want a lot of things

I am sure you do, too

Is it asking for much?

Is it asking for too much to get without asking?

If only you knew without me telling

And you see that it is done

I would become a princess

But a bound one at that

Bound by your love

Bound by how much you care

Bound by a bond which is wonderful and strong

Yes, every lucky soul is bound

And every soul is lucky to be thus bound
