I Just Want One Thing

I don't want jewels made from the sky.
I don't want lace and ribbons from the softest sheep.
I don't want the shiniest flowers in the field.
I don't want the biggest teddy bear.
I don't want the smallest present.
I only have one thing I'll ever need.

And that's your warmth.

I don't need the kisses of a thousand beautiful clothes.
I don't need the glimmer in a shiny makeup pallet.
I don't need the cutest puppy or kitten.
There is only one thing I'll need.

And that's your smile.

I only want your soft hugs.
I only want the smell of your jacket.
I only want your eyes looking at me.
I only want you.
And only you.

You are my savior.

The night in shining armor that's come to take me away from my forbidden tower.
My hero come to save me from my own evil villain that is my heart.

You are my rescuer.

The man that's swooped in just in time.
The person who stepped up to the battle of a million thoughts.
The human that has ever tenderly rubbed my back and arm for comfort.

You are my salvation.

The person I wish to forever hold in my hand.
The voice I forever want to speak hushed compliments.
The heartbeat that I want to listen to as a lullaby.
The breath that I beg and hope stays in tune with my.

You've changed me.

You've placed small strands of gauze around my bleeding and broken heart.
You've ripped shards of hate from the reflection I see.
You've saved me from my voice within.
I listen now and wonder how long you can handle the fragile doll before you.
I may not know many things...

But, I do know that I want you standing beside me.
I want you fighting with me.
I want you standing arm for an arm in battle with me.
I want to be a shield for you.
A bodyguard for my own special place in your heart.
For I know I've stolen not just one piece of that beating miracle.

But, I've taken the entire thing.
All because I wanted you wrapped around my finger.
