This is all I want

Lonely walks on cold nights

Quiet chats on damp grasslands

Calm sharing of scripture nuggets

To stare at the stars in your eyes

That the shovel of your heart

Digs through the debris in my head

Seeks out the point in my jibberish

Looks for the peace in my clattering

For you to care involuntarily

That you let me care irrevocably

That our problems solve one another

Our burdens melting under the heat of love

A love that would never die

A future that has only you and I

As I await the day you step into this mess

I will scribble, I will speak and I will wait till I find

What I want: a life with you.
