DEAR SANTA

Dear Santa, I know I haven't been all that good,

But if I had someone to love, I promise to do what I should.

I want someone that will be there for better or worst.

I want someone that I can hold to the highest and she will put me first.

Dear Santa, I know it's the giving time of year.

I don't want much, just someone special to hold near.

I know there are people more in need than I.

I just want someone to touch and hear her sigh.

Dear Santa, I don't want any presents or toys.

I want a love that will last and all those little joys.

I just want someone to love me for me,

And not try to change me into what they want me to be.

Dear Santa, would it be wrong of me, would it be too much to ask,

For someone that will always be here, for a love that will last.

I know there is supposed to be someone for me and someone for you,

But so far, I haven't found that someone special that's true.

Dear Santa, there is someone that I want for this happy occasion,

But she can't be with me because there are some complications.

She has her reasons and I have my commitments just for a start.

There are many reasons on this day that will keep us apart.

Dear Santa, there are so many things that I will miss,

So these are the things I want for Christmas.

To hold her in my arms is at the top of my list.

The next gift I want to unwrap is her sweet kiss.

Dear Santa, to breath her essence deep in my soul,

And to caress her body with my eyes is my goal.

I want to lightly stroke her mind with my fingertips.

I want to touch her thoughts ‘till she begs me to quit.

Dear Santa, I know there is someone out there waiting for my love.

I'm just asking for a love sent from the stars above.

Santa please send that special love meant just for me.

Then wrap this love in pretty paper with a big bow and put it under the tree.
