I Want You:

I don't want to tie you down,
I want to fly with you.
I don't want to march your feet along the ground,
I want to run with you.
I don't want your heart, to me alone, be bound,
I want to journey Love with you.
To discover new realms within, with you.
To compose a melody, with a rhythm we can dance, with you.

I don't want to clip your wings,
I want to spread them for you.
I don't want to force upon you Earthly things,
I want to see Heaven with you.
I don't want to dictate your heart a song to sing,
I want to harmonize with you.
To write a tale to tell, with you.
To light a fire, where others gather for warmth, with you.

I don't want to guide your path,
I want to light it for you.
I don't want to be the holder of your heart,
I want to touch it, where it beats, in you.
I don't want to be the one you call your 'other half',
I want to feel you whole, as you.
To adventure time and space with you.
To be each other's catalysts, to make all our own dreams come true.

I don't want to own your smile.
I don't want to shape your style.
I don't want to be your heart's denial.

I want you
To just be you,
And to just want me
To be me too..

Aww, thank you. :) I really appreciate your lovely comments. And they've given me a prod to put my newest ones on, as I now have quite a few I've not got around to adding, so extra thanks!
