I want you to love me

You who are not here
You who's arms are not around me
You who leave me wondering and bereft

I want you to love me

You who's name I do not know
You who's touch I crave
You, with promises I wish to hear

I want you to love me

You who beg on bended knee, for my forgiveness
You, with lips I can almost imagine
You who are my heart's bequest

I want you to love me

And where the wind will carry my words of love,
to reach a man that will stop and listen
I will keep watch with patience, and make friends with celibacy
For time and only space are merely things
You are the body and soul I ache for

You are the one who loves me.

This may be old but it's beautiful.
I can hear it in my head like a song.
A Beautiful, beautiful melody.
