Wanted: Love
Listening to my slow jams back to back
Where is the key to my heart.
Humph....
Let's see where could it be?
Shoot....I don't even know
I think I might have let him have it too soon.
He was too irresponsible and lost it
He didn't take care of it neither did he cherish it
Now it's lost....
Flipping between Tamia and Heather Headley
Literally wondering: Why?
Why be so lonely at 22?
Wondering when will I fall in love
Thanks. Amerie.
Who askes why don't we?
How can we if I don't have a he?
If I don't have him?
Being in love
Gazing at the stars
Walking on cloud nine like Tamia
When I would be with him.
Taking it all the way back to day one
Thoughts of being a lucky charm,
being on his arm
Knowing that I will be there for him
Like my grandmoms girdle.
Looking good as always
Stay in the mirror
Because I will keep myself up just as long as he does too
I want to run
Run into his arms because aint no harm
Coming my way.
Dying in his arms
Bringing me back to life when his finger touch my lips
Then his lips grace mine with a kiss
I'm alive.
Thank you!
Listening to his eyes as they talk to me
No words needed
His eyes.
They speak.
Yes I understand
Ever had that moment when your eyes meet his and you just sink
Heart pouring out through his eyes.
Yeah,
Not for me.
I always wanted to feel the feeling of being in love and
Where every memory and every embrace is incredible.
Indescribable.
Not able to feel it again unless I am with him.
Nothing like loving him.
It's like ecstasy in his lap
Sitting there
Looking at his smooth skin
Laughing at his mustache
Staring at his nose
Loving his lips
Up close and personal
I'm really feeling him
Every memory stays on my mind
24/7
In my dreams,
literally
Vividly
Bright colors
Live touches
And want to live it again and again.
All I have to give to him is me.
My flip flop attitude
My bear sleeping habits
My need for spotlight
My attention for time
All covered by a smile
That will always be there in the morning.
Having your heart in my possession
Is all I ever wanted
I'm worth all the love that you have to give
Trust.
Me.
I can handle it.
Friends now
Lovers later
And
Both always and forever
Where is the key to my heart.
