YOU ARE EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED

You are everything I ever wanted.

On you my future happiness depends.

Unless I’m with you all my thoughts are haunted.

After seeing you, my unease ends.

Reason warns me that I am in danger:

Eventually, everything must fade.

My love, like yours, is flammable in anger.

Yet my trust is such, I’m not afraid.

Something in our love’s more than emotion,

Underneath each thought and each desire;

Not even all the water in the ocean

Seems up to putting out this one small fire.

How could this be? Within our love is something

Immeasurable, infinite, and good.

Nothing in all life can match this one thing

Each other passion would be, if it could.
