To Love, To Hold

To love and be loved by you, all I ever wanted
To hear you say I love you all I need
To be your first thought at dawn and your last at dusk is my truest desire
To be your most cherished hello and your most dreaded goodbye
A love like the one I crave burns like the hottest day 
Anything less only gives me a lukewarm sensation
To hold you, my most treasured daydream
To comfort you at your worst and embrace you at your best
The warmth brought on by your strong embrace a sensation I hold most sacred 
To be entwined within your arms is a form of bliss like no other
