To be loved

To be loved like a habit, not a chore,
To be spared time for, not extra time for


To be cherished like the morning light,
not to be found in the darken night,


To be missed when the day grows long,
Not just " how you been? it's been so long. "


To be felt in the air you breathe,
Not something you one day leave,


To be the thought you carry near,
Not just words, but actions clear.


To be needed like the stars at night,
be comfort in the dark, disappear in light,


To be the calm, the storm, the shore,
To be loved deeply, forevermore.
