I Want to Be Loved

I never asked or begged for material things. I don't need diamonds or money. A big house is too much to care for. Fancy cars require too much insurance and just depreciate. Flowers die and cards are prefabricated thoughts of another. All I want is attention. Not everyone's attention. Just the attention of the one. Little trips to little hide away places to make memories. A little touch from love. A kiss small and sweet yet full of passion. A look of pride when he looks at me even when I screw up, because he knows all I do is try so hard to make him happy as he does for me. And even in anger the lovery and devotion shows in his eyes. I don't want much, just his world.

The sad fact is some have it and don't even know it. They toss it aside or play with it like a game. I think we start a relationship with this in mind. Then life happens. People become complacent. They let go of those precious things and opt for the material things. A better job, more money, bigger house, a pool...soon they argue about money. They come to look at each other with distrust and frustration. They know they misplaced something, they don't know exactly what or when or where.
But unless they are both willing to look, it will never be found again.
