I Know What I Want...

and until then I will remain alone.

You see,

I want a man who will fight to keep me-

a golden hearted prince

who recognizes the truth-

that he can't picture his life without me.

A man who will love my darkness

as much as my light,

who doesn't expect perfection

any more than I do,

but will love me simply because I'm me.

I want a man who will understand

how great a gift my love is

and how I compliment his life.

I want a man I can love and nourish,

who wants to learn and explore

every aspect of each other

and grow our relationship,

a man who will be strong enough

to stand in awe of my femininity and strength

and gentle enough to cherish

the vulnerable child in me.

I don't want just any man.

No, I want a man who gives me

reasons to smile, makes me laugh,

and dives into the depths

of passion and pleasure with me.

That man will understand

the gift of my love and choose me

because.that man will realize 

I am the end of his search for completeness

and he is the end of mine.

Until then I will remain alone.
