I Want My life and I Want You.

I want my life and I want you.
I never thought I could have both.
Maybe I can
If I could love everyone as you
I could change the world.
I know that I can change the world
You see, so you already have.
Logic tells me I have to choose between
Loving one and loving all with everything.
But I new thought threatens that.
It is I can do both.
I must choose my time wisely even more than the little I tried to do before.
But I can live the paradox because it has been lived for ages
By married followers of your Dad.
How you think I got here?
Am I a mistake?
I don’t think I am.
Hold those lips for me.
Hold your "Yo quiero!"
Hold everything you possess and value.
Guard it from a thief who comes to steal
Even if accidental
Hold yourself defiantly from me.
Because you are worth it.
