I want to walk into the room.
I want to see your smiling face.
I want to wrap my arms around you,
In a loving embrace.

I just want to touch you,
And hold you in my arms.
Doing everything I can to keep you from harm.

I want to look into your eyes.
I want to hold you tight and,
Whisper things into your ear,
As we kiss goodnight.

You are my everything, and I love you.
I need you, I want you.
But most of these, above all,
I desire you, as I yearn for you.
