Analysis of I want

Trina Gledhill 1985 (Woonsocket)



I want a love,
That gives me,
The butterflies.

Someone that,
Wants to same,
Things as me.

Someone who I,
Can count on,
To help me,
Through the issues,

Someone to take,
Me out on dates,
Somewhere that,
Is very romantic.

Maybe with candles lite,
With some flowers,
And share a dessert,
With two spoons.

Then take a walk along,
On the beach,
Holding hands as we,
Walk along the beach.

And the beach is,
Lite by the moon,
Which is very beautiful.

Then he would ask me,
What will we do next,
Then we could go to,
My house and watch.

A romantic movie,
Make some popcorn,
Or strawberries dipped,
In white chocolate.

After the movie,
He would kiss me,
Then we say good night,
And then he goes home.
