Cocooned In a Single Being

I do not seek words of praise Or words that you may think that I might like to hear I seek the purest heart and soul Sincere, I seek not what money can buy But rather, I seek what money cannot buy Health and happiness I seek not your smile when you are awake I seek this even when you are asleep Contentedly sleeping in my arms So that you may rise the next morning Refreshed and smiling I seek not only sweet words from your lips But the melodious utterance with love and respect The voice that echoes in my head I seek from you exactly the same as I will give to you With honour, respect and understanding I seek the adventurous you, that playfulness So rarely found Chasing me with a water running hose in your hand I seek your fearless heart and open face with love in your eyes I seek to read your mind When separated by a million miles I seek all of those cocooned in one man Strength gentle spontaneous humour All that we deserve
