I Don’t Need Much

Can you pray for me?

Are you willing to put in the work, 

fight for your family?

I don’t need much.

Unconditional love and patience,

Us dancing til the sun comes up,

You doing the Carlton to No Guidance,

Serenading me under the stars

On a Vietnamese seaside.

I don’t need much.

Just your touch and warm bear type embrace.

For you to be my fortress from the evils of the world,

My confidant, my secret eater, my protector.

I promise, I don’t need much.

Your words of encouragement to provide the wind beneath the wings of my dreams and aspirations.

Your affirmations to become the proclamation that fortifies the walls of my entire being.

Your presence, which provides the solace and validation to just be... me.

My beloved I don’t need much,

I only ask for that which I already provide.
