the love i deserve

i deserve a love that writes me poetry,
fills me up with ecstasy,
one that makes me the muse,
in it, i’d never lose.

one that holds me as its obsession,
caring with so much intention,
one that adores my quirks,
and never, ever irks.

one with hugs that feel like home,
no matter how far i may roam,
one with kisses soft and true,
in the morning’s light, and evening’s hue.

one that holds my hand while walking,
never a need for careful talking,
one that lets me lie beside,
underneath the starlit sky so wide.

one that tucks me in so tight,
when blankets fall away at night,
one that takes pictures while i sleep,
peaceful moments it longs to keep.

i deserve this love, pure and bright,
it i give, with all my might,
until i find, i’m better alone,
loving myself with all i own.
