She wants him,
she is done being alone,
she can't take it anymore,
she wants someone she can call her own.

She wants the attention,
the royalty and all,
she wants to be comfortable,
she wants to be caught by open arms to break her fall.

She wants him to love her imperfection,
she wants those tears to be smiles,
the blue days to be heaven,
and him to appreciate all her different styles.

She wants to feel his touch,
she wants to know it's all okay,
she wants the sudden rush,
to say "I love you" in every single way.

She wants a man with pride,
she wants to know how he feels,
she wants him to open up,
she wants to know that his love is real.

This is good- it seems more like song lyrics, not that that's a bad thing.  Nice idea, albeit a little cliche.  Great work overall.
