i begin to think about love and partnership
once again

where i have always considered no need
yet now i wonder for want

can i want
can i want?

without answering the question
i rush in ahead
i want without knowing
i want against my will

the thoughts pour in -
that maybe
it would be nice
to go through life
with someone by my side.
that maybe
i could
use a little more support.
that maybe
i'd be okay
being someone's closest person.                             

to have and to hold
for better or for worse
for richer or for poorer
in sickness and in health
to love and to cherish

till death do us part

and so i stand confused
holding the ring
is this what i want?

will i ever really know?
