I Want You

Je veux tenir ta main Je veux passer mes bras autour de toi Je veux t'embrasser

Je te veux What is "I want"?

Is it to long for something you don't possess? Is it to dream of somewhere you've never been? Is it to crave someone you have yet to taste?

Why is "I want"

So selfish? So dirty? So empty?

Is this scorching desire a cavern? Are these screeches my own? Is this oasis a mirage?

Maybe I want the wrong things

Maybe I shouldn't want your arms Maybe I shouldn't want your waist Maybe I shouldn't want your lips

I want you isn't quite the full story

I want you to be happy, and when you aren't I want you to be okay, and when you aren't I want you to be loved

I want to give my soul to you And if you would ask for my body to recklessly subdue yours, I would gladly give that to you And if you would ask to make the space between us two thousand miles, I would gladly give that to you However close we are, I'll be happy with And if it's okay I'm in love with you
