Someone.

I want someone who'd stand with me -

The day I lose my degree,

The day I lose my teen.

I want someone who'd hold me close -

Despite the skills, I've always lacked,

Despite the dark days, I have treaded past.

I want someone who'd love me true!

Not for my charm, nor the curves,

Not for my cleavage, nor the verve.

I want someone who'd wish me luck -

Even if it would take me away,

Even if my return delayed.

I want someone who'd kiss me to sleep -

Who would, for me, stay awake

Who would never, to me, be fake.

I want someone who'd wipe my sweat -

Before asking for the money I'd kept,

Before reminding me of unpaid debts.

I want someone who'd see my soul right through -

Who had loved me before I was born,

Who would love me when I'm gone.

I have found that soul, that someone in you!

I find the solace you offer, a boon!

I'd be blessed to be born again, in your womb!
