What I want

What I want.

I don't want anything special.
I want someone to love me, for who I am.
Someone to hold me when I'm down.
Someone who sees past my failures in life.
A person willing to support my endeavors.
A person doesn't simply exist to criticize my decisions.

I don't want someone who's life revolves entirely around me.
I want someone to tell me stories about their day.
Someone who has friends I can meet.  (I don't have to like them.)
Someone who knows what they want, without my approval.
A person who understands when I need my solitude.
A person who doesn't shut down when we disagree.

I don't want things. (Although things are nice.)
I want Love.
Someone who provides Acceptance.
Someone who gives Support.
A person who has Stability.
A Person.

I don't want to hear my family's bigoted opinions.
I cannot follow their broken compass.
I am tired of their nagging.
I am sick of them pointing out all the flaws.
Who can't give me a clear path to appease them.
Who's directions change on a whim.

I don't want to stay in this cage of sorrow.
I need to escape.
To find that Someone.
To meet that Person.
Forget the expensive cars.
Forget the diamond rings.

If could have what I want...
I would have Happiness.
And I wouldn't need anything more.
