What I Want
What I want is to never let you go
What I want is to hold you forever
What I want is to love you always
What I want is for you to be strong
What I want is for you to be happy
What I want is for you to feel loved
What I want is everything love can offer
What I want is leaving me by
What I want I cannot have
What I have is only a memory
What I have is just a fading picture
What I have is only sorrow
What do you want
I hope
I hope it is me
When you are ready to want
