I want to Love You.
I don't need your approval, praise or your applause,
I don't need to be a hero fighting for your cause,
I don't need for you to think I'm better than the rest,
I don't need to be the project in which you will invest,
I just want to love you.
I do not want to own you,
Nor need to know your "mine"
I don't need you to agree with me on concepts of Divine,
I want to love you freely as you yourself are free
To throw back your head and laugh with joy....
...with or without me!
I want to show you all the wonder as we explore the mystery
Of this Universe that doesn't need a damn thing from you or me.
I want to love you,
Without desire or need,
Without that selfish hunger of the egos greed,
Without care or concern about the time we spend,
Held in other peoples arms,
Momentary mesmerised by other peoples charms,
I want to love you with out end....
...and if the seas should boil or the skies fall on our head,
I want to love you while I'm living,
I want to love you when I'm dead.
I want to care about your feelings without the need to make them mine,
I want to love you through the darkness, love you as you shine,
I want to show you every ounce of joy my being has to give,
As I watch you love your life, watch you as you live...
...and if you think I write these lines as Romeo to Juliet
I want to make it clear to you that I cannot accept,
That you are not her, or him, or them, or That....or me,
Because I want to love this world of souls until we All are free!
And what I choose to give to any one of time, effort or attention,
I give because I choose to give without exception or reservation,
Because I want us ALL to live,
With this passion and this joy,
With all of these reasons why life should be enjoyed.
I do NOT want to need you,
Or be the one thing that you need,
I don't want to enslave you I want to see you freed,
Freed from the pain of feeling you're alone,
Like all your chances of a joyous life
Like starlings have all flown.....
....I want to love you! And you, and you and you and You!
Without fear or lies or jealousy,
With you or yours or mine or me,
I want to love you until you're free but.....
.....but I cannot be your happiness or your reason to survive,
Or the answer to your questions, or what makes you feel alive,
Im not this image you've created nor this solution that you see, no...
I'm just "Me".
And I want to love you in truth,
Not urgently or desperately,
But love you without falsehood,
Love you honestly.
And honestly?
I can't stand it when you try to own me,
For I was born to be so free,
And as you try to chain me down
You become my enemy,
But if we share this vision you will understand and see
In time....
This love is more.
More than instinctual drives of biology,
More than appreciation of anatomy,
More than hormonal feelings,
More than chemistry....
That this is an honest love for all humanity,
More than our instincts need for acceptance or comfort
could ever be.
I want to love you.
Even if I choose to leave you be
To make your choices, find your path,
Because I love you,
I want you to be free.
I
