I want you to come to me
Like the moon comes to the sun
Like an inevitability
Like dawn after deepest night
I want you to come to me
Like waves breaking on the shore
Like a natural order
Like calm after a raging storm
I want you to come to me
Like the moth drawn to the flame
Like irresistibility
Like sweet release from exquisite pain
I want you to come to me
The oxygen breathing life to my fire
Like symbiosis
The reciprocal synergy of desire
Forgiving, forgetting
Remembering, relishing
Incessant irresistibility
Enduring empathy
Noticing needs
Diligent devotion
Selfless sacrifices
Habitually happy
Individual importance
Perfected patience
(To have a friend, one must be a friend.)
