Wanting It All Poem by Julie Dant

I love you.
I want you.

I want you to love me
I want you to need me above all others
I want you to think of me in all your quiet periods.

I want to be right there behind your eyes,
Attach myself to your retinas so that
when you are walking in a woods
you are seeing it through my eyes also.

I want to be right there in your heart
Pillow myself so that wherever you are
it will swell with such loving fullness that
you might think it could burst with the joy of it.

I want to be right there in your brain
Embed myself so that I am there at the
forefront of your mind at all times and you will
feel such peacefulness knowing of my residence.

I want to be right there upon your skin
Apply myself as a soothing balm so that when
you pass your hand over any portion of your body
I will feel your touch and know it’s gentleness.

I will love you until the end of all
that we will ever know.
Unconditionally.
