When you desire something
You don’t need to rile yourself up
Poised for battle, ready to crush
My needs with the force of your will
Why treat me like an enemy
When I’m your closest friend
Your partner, your life
The one who’s on your side
Even when I seem to be on mine
For love has many facets
But, like a circle, it swirls around
To show seamlessly only one
So sweetheart, tell me what you want
Not with shouts or defensive gestures
Nor with commands I’m too proud to obey
But softly, gently, in barely audible whispers
Like a wish upon a star
Like a quiet incantation
That joins my silent need
To meet you half-way
To move as you move
To fulfill all your dreams
To protect you from harm
When you trust in my love
When you whisper what you want.
