All She Wanted

All She Wanted

All she wanted from you,

Was to be loved unconditionally.

To be accepted for all that she was,

And was not.

She wanted sincere words…

Warm embraces.

Simple things like smiles

And dollar chocolate bars.

She only asked for nights in,

And occasional days out.

All she wanted from you,

Was for you to tell her

It was okay.

Even when she wouldn’t

Believe you,

When you had to say it

A million times,

When she cried

For no reason.

She only wanted you to understand.

All she wanted from you,

Was to take her hand,

Make her laugh,

Even if it was only on the inside.

She only wanted you to see

That she loved you,

When she said things she didn’t mean,

When she was angry,

When she didn’t fully get you.

She wanted you to see her trying.

All she wanted from you,

Was to be respected,

To see her heart bleeding for you,

To see her movements working for you,

To see her loving you,

The only way she knew how.

She only wanted you to need her,

To want her.

She wanted you to see her.

All she wanted was you.
