I Want To See You Cry

I want to see you cry

I want to see you cry
Not the tears beside a tombstone
Not tears of bitterness
Not tears of goodbye
Not tears of sadness
Not the tears that made the whiskey taste like salt
Not the tears that ran; when the story got to hard to tell
Not those wistful tears
Not those tears
I want to see you cry; tears of joy
I want to give you flowers, when you are least expecting them
I want to make food together with you; spend time with you
I want to listen to your favorite music; listen to you
I want to find common pleasures; again and again
I want to suprise you; might even clean those windows
I want to satisfy you; you know I can
I want to hold you in my arms; give you more than a hug
I want you; love you!
I want you; let go
Come to me
I lpve you; you know
Come
You will see me cry tears of joy
Come
I want you to see me cry; tears of joy
Come
