I want to be near you.
To see your face
Glow with a beauty that
Comes from within.

I want to be with you.
To see a woman
Whose smile can move the
Heart of any man.

I want to hold your hand.
The softness of which
Gives away all the tender feelings
Stored within your breast.

I want to love you.
To hold a woman
To hold you in my arms
In love forever.
