The Love I Long For
/No need to flood me
with your Western-style romance
passionate like fire
driving me to flee its intense blaze
I long to be settled
with a gentle devotion
let care trickle through
our quiet, routine acts
May love be a long-lasting breeze
soothing my weary soul
not a whirlwind
set to devour me
