Desire

By: Melissa Susan Hensley

You make me want to take the plunge,
To let go of my fears,
To hand over my heart to you,
And rid my life of tears.

You make me want to change myself,
Into the woman of your dreams,
To makeover each little flaw,
Become more than I seem.

You make me want to love again,
Submerge myself in you,
To give up inhibition,
And start over anew.

You make me want to reach new heights,
To set you as my goal,
To believe you are the only one,
Who can make my spirit whole.

You make me want to trust my heart,
Forget the hurts of past,
To know I shouldn’t be afraid -
Have faith that this will last.

You make me want to hold on tight,
Rely on what’s to come,
To know that you are there for me,
That you could be “the one”.

You make me want to find myself,
To see me in your eyes,
But I’m so afraid to fall again;
So used to sad goodbyes.

You make me want to reach inside,
Expose the love in me,
To give you everything I have,
For all eternity.

You make me want to open up,
Let go of all the bad.
You make me want to find in you,
The love I’ve never had.
