Too Much to Ask

All I ever wanted
Was someone to love,
Someone who would love me.
All I ever requested
Was a little joy in my life.
All I ever needed
Was someone to tell me I'm beautiful
Even though I'm still in my pajamas,
Hair all out of place,
Eyes, red and puffy from all the tears.
All I ever wanted
Was to be happy,
Loved,
Wanted,
Needed.
All I ever asked
Was to be good enough;
To be something special to someone...
But I guess it was
Too much to ask.
