in my dreams
I long for you
just as I do
in daylight
you don’t have to be superman
or drop-dead gorgeous
all I require of you
is you love me
as I am
and in return
I will love you
as you are
no less and so much more
let me be a friend to you
a lover and mate as well
include me in your life
but maintain your independence
as that is what I expect to do as well
