what part of me wants

part of me wants
to just throw myself on
you and lavish and ravish
you savagely, love

and part of me wants
to say hey, why not linger
in languor as if we had
all of forever

and part of me does
because part of me has you
in ways that can't ever
fade out
or away

but part of me wants

what part of me wants
what part of me wants
every possible way

part of me wants
what you've seen all this time
has been right on my mind
so entirely right

and part of me wants
to cradle your heart
like china, so fragile
glazed red over white

I've held you so gentle
you've held me so tight
and all of me wants
to take pains
and great care

but part of me wants

what part of me wants
what part of me wants
so much it's not fair

you've taken so much
but I'd gladly give more
yes all of me wants
to give you my all

but part of me wants

what part of me wants
what part of me wants
it's partly your call

and you've given so much
it's more than I've earned
but all of you wants
to come out and say

that part of you wants

what part of me wants
and part of you wants,
way more than once

yes part of you wants
what part of me wants
let part of you once
have all of your way

This is really nice. You need a composer! Do you play the guitar? Can't you hear it? Or am I just in a musical mood?
