I pray.

I'm not asking for your help
or even your pity.
i just want to be beautiful
or even pretty.

i want you to shout my name
to the heavens above the clouds.
when everyone's around us;
scream it to the crowds.

i want you to love me
more then you love life
i want you to cherish every moment;
take our time together in strife.

I'm not asking you to lie to me,
just be honest about what you feel.
every moment we shared
will forever be real.

i love you more than you know
i wish that you feel the same way.
i say these words
every time i pray.
