What I really want from you


What I really want from you is you
I need you home with me
It's ok for you to hang out
But it's not ok when I am the last, very last on your list

I am not here for your money
I don't care whether you spoil me or not
It feels nice being given a treat
But i need you more than your money

My heart aches every time you leave
Not that you are with someone else
But that you don't care to hang around me

I love me and I might move

See when I hear footsteps, my heart jumps in excitement thinking you have arrived
When I hear voices from afar, my entire body wakes up with the expectation that I will witness you approach home
When I hear the sound of automobiles, something within me races
He is finally back!
I say to myself, what a long wait! Finally he is home...
Only to sink back and grow cold for you have better things and i seem to be an inconvenience to you.

I have begged you
I have loved you
I have fought for us
I can't keep on like this

I realised I love me more
I can't hurt anymore
I won't let me

I thank the Spirits within me for showing me the way

Every time I have been telling me, he will look at me, he will value me, but apaana! Those are my dreams and wishes
