Requirements

A whisper of gold,
Against my cheek.
Strong arms,
To hold me close.
Beautiful, deep eyes,
That I can gaze into.
That is what I want.

Someone to protect me,
Shield me from the bad;
And to hold me,
When the shield falls.
To let me cry,
Forever on his shoulder.
That is what I want.

Knowing that I alone,
Can make him smile;
And see the lines,
Crinkle by his eyes.
And to hear his laugh,
Resonating in the room.
That is what I want.

To have someone,
who sees the real me.
Not the mask,
That I always wear.
But to have his beautiful eyes,
Search my soul.
That is what I want.

A lover, protector,
A friend.
That is what I want.
I'll wait for the day,
when my soulmate appears in my life.
I hope he has pretty eyes.
