Like A Country Song

I want to be loved

like a country song.

I want to be loved like

sleeping would be hard without me to hold.

I want to be loved like

a sweet guitar solo and a soft drumming background.

I want to be loved like

a floor creaking, 2AM, tip - toe dance around the kitchen.

I want to be loved like

a hazy neon sign that buzzes through the night.

I want to be loved like

a stiff whiskey.

I want to be loved like

Sunday lunch at mamas' house.

I want to be loved like

painting the kitchen together in droplet harmony.

I want to be loved like

a picket fence and long farm lands.

I want to be loved like

I want to be loved like

a wild, free breeze with the windows down.

I want to be loved like

midnight stars on the last night of summer.

I want to be loved like

an open road going nowhere.

I want to be loved like

a room full of people with just me in it.

I want to be loved like

midnight air and 'questionable' adventures.

I want passion and beauty and

reckless freedom.

I want to be loved like

a country song.
