But I Want to

But I want too

I always want to be next to you

I don't have to be, but I want to

I always want to hear your voice

I don't have to , but I want to

I always want to touch you

I don't have to, but I want to

I always want to see your face

I don't have to, but I want too

I always want to inhale your scent

I don't have to, but I want to

Since the very first day

I wanted you

And you wanted me too

You didn't have to, but you want to

You said I was a prize, a gift come true

And to my surprise, I felt the same way too

Two broken pieces struggling to be whole and new

Hoping to find a real love that is true

You brought me the sun, turn my gray skies to blue

I'll swim across the ocean just to be with you

I know I don't have to

But I really want to.

Writing these words is what I want can do

These words of love

Because I think I love you
