Yearning

I spend my time

Reading books that I like

Thinking of what is to come

Looking for a real home

Love seems tricky

I drink whiskey

Because I don’t like to think

Of what is written on ink

All my favorite characters find love

Then why is it so difficult for me to belove

I know I am not striking

Neither enticing and exciting

Maybe I put too much effort

And maybe that is why is hard for you to support

I am trying to be myself

And not what I think you want for yourself

We don’t need to be lovers

My most treasured colours

Are gold, white and green

Each that comes from your sheen

I want your friendship

Your companionship

The gleam of your eyes

And how your laughter

Brings me the sunrise

I want somebody to share my dreams

Somebody to help me with my schemes

Somebody to show me the way when I am blind

I want to feel twined

I want a bond so strong that can’t be broken

Somebody to hold as if a token

I want to feel listened

And cherished

I want to take care of you

For you to sing with me Waterloo

To laugh, to hold, to live

I want to feel alive and with you thrive
