I Want
  By Adrian Mailenna


I want
 To count
  the ways to make her smile,
 To hear
  the rhythms of her laugh,
 To teach
  her a thousand wondrous tastes,
 To hold
   her beside me, safe and warm,
 To share
  a breath of pure delight,
 To show
   her precious, miraculous things,
 To sleep
   to the beating of her heart,
 To know
   that my happiness blends with hers,

But more than anything else I say,
I want her
 To feel
   The very same way.
