I deserve to be kissed with tumul,  
To be loved with such a verve,  
To be wanted, desired like none other,  
To be pursued with the intent of a hungry wolf.

I deserve to be wanted by a man I want,  
To fall in love endlessly,  
To be powerfully lauded in silent awe  
By a man I love as endlessly.

I deserve to be kissed, and woken up,  
My every cell alight,  
My every nerve trembling with joy  
At forever possibility.

I deserve to rest vulnerably,  
To be safe in a world of safety  
To finalize my love infinitely  
In a love of final infinity.

I deserve to be:  
To be well in a magical way  
To take for granted nothing  
In a today-forever-now.

I deserve you…  
For every one of you, I love  
So powerfully,  
So infinitely.
