I want to sit with you in the silence.
I want to hold your hand.
I want to make fun of you.
I want you to make fun of me.
I want you to take some initiative.
I want you to see that I smile when I see you.
I want you to respond when I touch your arm.
I want you to be unafraid of me.

I want us to have a moment.
I want us to be inseparable.
I want us to have security, even when we're not together.
I want us to eat together.
I want to enjoy the sun with you.
I want to sing songs to you.
I want to sing songs with you.
I want to tell you you're beautiful.
I want to hold you in my arms.
I want to buy you gifts just because.
I want you to like it if I do cheesy things.

I want you to put up with mine.
I want to call you all the time, and not be annoying.
I want you to listen.
I want to listen to you.
