I Want

An old poem for an ex

I don't know how to say this
I want to do it good
I can't keep running away from things
It's like I live my life in the hood

I want us to go far away
Or to an exotic place
And look at you and see that glow
When you put that smile on your face

I want to give you fine things
To compliment your fine frame
So when people ask where you get these fine things
You'll just have to mention my name

You have no idea how much I think of you
And how I want to make you happy
I know there are other ways to make you like me
Than writing poems that are sappy

I will do whatever it takes
So that in the morning when I rise
I find you to be asleep by my side
And feel a warm surprise

I hate how I have to miss
Because we're miles apart
I only have your scent and thoughts to keep you alive
And it really breaks my heart

I want to make lots of money
Or even enough just to get by
I know this is a silly thought
I want you to see me as super fly

There's so many things I want
So that your day is always filled with joy
So many things that I'll work hard for
So you see me as a man and not a boy

We both have our dreams
That we want to chase and pursue
So many things in this list
That I just want to do with you

You are very special to me
Did you know you saved my world?
So many things I'm proud of
But most of all to say your my girl
