i want a love like a butterfly kiss
one that feels like the soft brush of a cheek
the gentle caress of fingertips
a ripple on a lake
i want a love like a bubbling fountain
spilling out in laughter and beaming smiles
playful and safe, a place for healing
i want a love like a blazing fire
passion as intense as a burning flame
fearless and strong as the lingering smell of smoke
i want a love like a roaring river
daring and brave enough to withstand even the rockiest shores
free and wild in all of its glory
i want a love like you
sweet and joyful and powerful and deep
to heal me and hear me and help me and haunt me
my gorgeous ghost
the lovely light of my life
