I Want Poem by Rosemary Monahan

I want to love again
And to be loved.
So my life can begin
And make my loneliness end.
I want someone I can hold
and who can hold me.
I want to have romantic nights
Being with someone I care about
Having dinner by candlelight.
Then snuggling up to a fire
Being in each other's arms
Holding on so tight
I want someone to yell my name
as loud as he can
To let everyone know
someone loves me
I want...can I have?
Am I able to...can I find?
Someone...to have as mine?

(1991)
