To Love and Be Loved

I heard what you said
I'm not the silly romantic you think
I don't want the heavens or the shooting stars
I don't want gemstones or gold
I have those things already. 
I want...
a steady hand, a kind soul
I want to fall asleep and wake, 
knowing my heart is safe.
I want to love and be loved.
