\u21d0I have watched you from a distance<\/p>\n
I have loved you from that same distance<\/p>\n
My heart cries out for your love<\/p>\n
Cries out for your touch, your caress<\/p>\n
I see you with others and I cringe<\/p>\n
I see you love others and I flinch<\/p>\n
Please love me too<\/p>\n
I need to be loved by you<\/p>\n
I need you to look at me with that peculiar glint in your eye<\/p>\n
That look of affection you give others<\/p>\n
Please love me<\/p>\n
Please set my heart afire<\/p>\n
Set me aglow<\/p>\n
Set me a lit<\/p>\n
Please love Me<\/p>\n
As a woman longs to be loved<\/p>\n
Love me as one you’ll cherish, forever<\/p>\n
Please love me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
