I ain't asking for much

no beauty or pearls here

I never needed 
promises neither
of us believe
we can keep,

I don't want much 
more than arms
softly in to
I can weep.

ain't asking
for forevers,
that's always
a lie.

just want
a little more
than a temporary
high.

Simple but full. Meaningful and humbly says very much of what is so hard to put into words.

Thanks I appreciate it. I loved this person's lyrics, they really spoke to me.

Well said. Love does not always last forever, even if both wish it would. Cherish the moments.

Thank you. I fell in love with the song when I heard it. He is a little unpolished but his lyrics are amazing. I hope he makes it through the chatter.

You never know. Either way, you have his songs!

Awwww....
'Cause baby youuuuu, you got what I neeee - eed.
But you say I'm just a friend, yeah you say I'm just a friend...
Kidding aside, this was a beautiful heartfelt piece of writing. We never ask for much but those things we ask for are just so hard to give up, it seems.
