Love me

Love me,
because I need your embrace every day,
to hear “I love you” from time to time.
I need your caresses,
for you to show me what life means,
to learn from your advice.

Love me,
I need to see your face when I sleep
and when I wake up I want to find it again.
I don't want you to leave without saying “I love you.”

Love me,
I miss you when you're not here,
loneliness overwhelms me.
I don't smile, I just want to cry.
Nothing comforts me, only you when you're here.

Love me,
even when I don't do what you expect,
even if I behave badly.
Love me always,
because I love you,
always here.
