A thousand scenarios
Run through my mind
I want to scream I love you
I want to hold your hand
I want it to be
Like the movies
I want to be your man
I want romance to mean something
I want to be
Your Prince

But if life teaches anything
It's the gulf between
What is wanted
And what is obtained
So instead of a steady stream
Of wants and desires
I should view life
As a bounty obtained
Thankful at every turn
For the love that is shared
The friendship given
The laughter, song and dance
The simple joys of knowing
That the earth is rich
(As am I)
Because you exist.
