Love me, don't ignore me
Make me laugh, don't make me cry
Treat me like your equal, not your child
Talk to me, don't shut me out
Hold me, don't turn your back on me
Be good to me, don't be cruel
Be honest with me, don't lie to me
Dry my tears, don't just watch them fall
Cherish my heart, don't break it
Appreciate me, don't take me for granted
Comfort me, don't hurt me more
Respect me, don't ridicule me
Be a man, don't be a child
Be silly with me at times, other times be serious
Laugh with me, don't laugh at me
Be patient with me, don't give up on me
Caress me, don't crush me
Lift me up, don't bring me down
Bring me joy, don't cause me pain
Treat me right, don't treat me wrong
All I want is to be loved, not hated
It is what I need, it is what I deserve
Do your best to do all of this and I will be yours forever
Do the opposite and watch me walk away forever
Is that too much to ask??
I don't think so, you shouldn't either
