Requirements

I do not need a dashing prince hailing from a far off land
Or a millionaire on bended knee begging for my hand.
I do not need a big bank account or the things that it can buy
I only need you to hold me and console me when I cry.

I do not want a fancy yacht or trips across the sea
I do not need a brainy scholar boasting a big degree.
I have no use for furs, limousines or private planes
I only want you and I dancing in the rain.

I do not have to have a cabin nestled in the mountains
I do not need a swimming pool complete with all the fountains.
I do not desire a macho man showing off his might
I only have to have your arms to hold me late at night.

I do not pray for an assistant to wait on me hand and foot
And I would surely laugh at a maid sent to clean our soot.
I do not call for exotic pets to keep me company
I only pray that you will always share your life with me.

Material possessions can break or be lost
I do not need things that come with a cost.
Rugged good looks are just a display
It's the inner beauty that I want everyday.

I want to be loved when I am gray and old
I need someone to have and to hold.
I would like my hand held as I stroll down the street
I yearn for the feeling that my life is complete.

I want someone to listen as I moan and I groan
And stand by my side as we face the unknown.
I want to be loved matter what I go through
And I want all of these things for me and for you.

For you are the one that I am writing about
You are the one that has erased all my doubt.
You are the one I want, need and desire
And you are the only thing I will ever require.

As always,
To my Beau
