Do
I know what I want?
Do
I really know?
So
many years ago
At
the young age of 19
I
thought I knew
I
wanted to quit college
and
get married
Visions
of staying home
with
the white picket fence
Baking
cookies
and
ironing
Those
were the visions then
Reality
came to me quickly
Life
hit me straight in the face
It
was not like that vision at all
My
life continued with me asking
Do
you know what you want?
Do
you really know?
So
many struggles
So
many pains came my way
Each
day brought a new one
Each
path I took
I
thought would bring
Bringing
with it what I thought I knew
Do
you know what you want?
Do
you really know?
Can
I answer that question
As
I sit here tonight
Can
I say what I want
Yes
I can
I
can say it all
I
know what I want
I
have shared so much
It
is not something that can be bought
It
is not something that can be wrapped
For
I know what I want
There
may be several things
From
peace and happiness for my kids
To
being able to have my own sanity
But
the one thing I want
That
plays on my mind
Is
I want that special someone
That
one and only one
Who
will give me his time
Who
will surprise me with a call on a whim
Who
will be there to see me through
To
hug me and hold me
Will
have romance and passion for me and with me
Who
will support me emotionally in all ways
Will
not make fun of me if I cry
During
a chick flick
One
I can talk to and know he is really listening
One
that truly cares
It
is not the materialistic things I want
I
only want to share my heart
A
heart who has so much to give
If
only that someone will allow me in.
Do
you know?
Do
you know what you want?
I
can say yes
After
all the lessons of life I have learned
I
just want the four:
Trust,
Honesty, Communication and Love
