luxury

i need
to stop thinking
about you

as a luxury

a richness
i can't afford

i need
to believe
that i deserve you

that your goodness
is right for me

i need to give
as much as i take

feel
as much as you
feel

and stop hiding
the truth

just to suit the mood

you are
the one for me

you believe
in what can be

i need to see
what you see

and be free
in the knowledge
that what we have
is really there

(priceless)
