My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

I Want You Here

​This is a poem I wrote in 2009. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. I imagine the verses of this one to the tune of All Of My Love by Led Zeppelin while the chorus is set to a simple tune I might have invented myself and the end is to the tune of the end of Patience by Guns 'N' Roses.

I want to walk with you hand in hand on the beach
I want to take you to the sea
I want to play on the swingsets till after dark
I want you with me

I want to walk with you skipping through the woods
I want to pretend we can fly
I want to work hard with you side by side
I want us to watch the sky

I want you here
I do I do
I want you here
wherever I go

I want to save the world with you by my side
I want to hold you so tight
I want to take our kids on a ride
I want to stand by you and fight

I want you to stay and play with my friends
I want you in my life
To build snowmen and pretend they're aliens in disguise
I want you as my wife

I want you here
Oh, I want you here
I want you here
I'll follow you anywhere

I want you here
come back to me
I want you here
It's been too many years

I want you here
I want you here, I want you here, yeah
I want you here
help me, please help me find you

It's like hitting the gas
and slamming the brakes
you charge me up
and give me the shakes
but i'm still waiting
for you to come around
I lose my juice
without you as my ground
and how can i wait
without you here?
i don't know but i am
and will year after year
for you, girl
oh, you
only you, girl
oh, you
until you're mine
