Aphrodite owes me one...
After all the ache she put me through,
She owes me one real, good love
that is worth hanging on to.
After all the hollow, false ones
that I spent so much life
trying to build up.
After so many one way streets.
After all the times
I put others ahead of myself.
Battled myself into emptiness
to give others what I needed.
Aphrodite owes me one...
After so many nights
sleeping together alone.
Living together alone.
Being together alone.
I want to be alone together.
I want to live alone together.
I want to sleep alone together.
I want someone who knows
why pleasing her pleases me.
I want to make real love together.
I don't want to be the only one
who knows the difference.
Aphrodite owes me one...
I want someone who likes to smile.
Someone who knows how to smile.
Really smile.
I want someone honest.
Someone who expects me to be honest.
Someone who knows I am honest.
For once I want someone
who asks me if I'm ok.
With a shoulder
that could soak up tears.
For once I want someone
who doesn't need me.
Someone who honestly just wants me.
Aphrodite owes me one...
I want someone who
can read Dickens effortlessly.
Someone who can follow
an eight line sentence.
Someone who can follow the logic
of their own argument
long enough to realize when
they have proven my point.
I want one who can enjoy a good meal
without worrying about the cost
of a decent steak.
Someone who understands
I can't afford to eat out every night.
Someone who can taste
when my cooking is good or bad.
Someone who understands
it's nice to come home some days
and not cook.
Someone who isn't
obsessed with calories.
Someone who isn't obsessed with me.
Aphrodite owes me one...
I want someone who knows
two beers in a week
doesn't mean I'm a drunk.
I want someone who doesn't
expect me to babysit
their excessive drunken stupidity.
I want somebody who can talk
with me all weekend sometimes.
I just want somebody
who doesn't have to talk,
when there isn't anything to say.
I want somebody who fights fair.
Someone who isn't afraid
to argue for something.
Somebody who can be wrong.
Somebody who says so
when I'm wrong.
I want someone who isn't afraid
to argue for something.
Someone who fights fair.
Someone who is fair.
After all the torture
she's put me through.
After all I've bled, and sweat.
Aphrodite owes me
one, real good love
that is worthy
of what I give.
