I Want To Be Loved

I want to be loved 
whether male or female
hard or sweet tale 
love isn't always singing
blue birds 
but more like a gangsta 
hustling on the streets tale 

I want to be loved 
more than kissed 
I want to be hugged 
I want reassurance that
I am not alone 
I'm not in it to simply bone
I want to be consoled  
when my soul will no longer float
I want someone who can 
erase the mask and seep into
my realness like soap  

I believe there is somebody
out there that I can take along
on this journey like a tote 
I still have hope 
of someday being loved 
hard or sweet 
slow or fast 
I crave something 
that will last.
