Wasting My Love

Yes, I too, want romance.

I want to wake up to thoughts of you, lapping at my mind like gentle waves.
I want you to be the last thing on my mind before sleep lures me away.
I want to lose my ability to think of anything else but you,
Where I go, all I do, I only want to be addicted to you.

But I want flowers too.
With a note that says 'I miss you'.

I want you to sing my favourite song even though you can't carry a tune,
And I want you to remember that my favourite colour is blue.
I want you to send me gifts, which cost little but are worth everything,
Little things that show you care about what I like too.

Kiss me in the rain, kiss me for no reason,
Call me on a busy day to sing a little song,
Tell me you don't know how you lived till I came along.

Laugh at me when I cry at the movies,
But then wipe away my tears and kiss me.
Need me, want me, miss me.

Let's go out, where we dress up and look nice,
Lost in each other as if there's only me,there's only you,
I want to argue about our choice of music,
And to tease you about crying at a soppy movie too.

But you live in another world, have another life,
And these foolish dreams are my undoing,
I am dying a little everyday, aching to tell you,
Wanting you to know somehow, that I have so much in me,
Surging to find you, to let myself go, to fall into you.

Everyone says that I'm a fool,
For wanting what I want, for thinking what I do.
Yes, I quite agree, that I'm wasting my love on you.

Redeem yourself, don't let me walk away,
Tell me that I am the air that you breathe.
I so want you to be the only one,
Prove me wrong, ask me to stay.
