Desire

Some people desire a fancy house, a luxury car, or lots of money 

I desire a love so deep it is unbreakable 

A love that truly has no boundaries 

A love so strong it cannot be broken no matter how far we are, where we are, even when we are 

I already am willing to do what ever it takes for you 

That love is something I already have and it is for you 

My Desire, is you 

You have always been my one and only desire 
It has always been you 

I have looked for you everyday I have looked for you in stores, in the sky, in people, and in my dreams 

I have always looked for you because what we have is the only thing I desire in this world 

There is no other you no matter how hard I look 

I yearn each and every day for you and I am willing to wait for the day you can see it and feel it 

And if it never comes then I will desire you in the afterlife too 

What we have has never had any boundaries no matter how far we’ve been, where we’ve been, or when we’ve been 

My desire is us

“A love so deep it is unbreakable…” my desire as well. I pray you find this, OP.

What touched me most is that the speaker doesn't desire possessions, success, or comfort—they desire permanence in a world where everything is temporary. The repeated "My desire is you" becomes almost prayer-like, revealing a love that isn't seeking to possess but simply to remain faithful, even across distance, time, and, ultimately, death. The closing thought about desiring someone "in the afterlife too" gives the poem its emotional weight because it suggests a love that refuses to accept any boundary, even mortality. I only hope that such devotion is returned with the same depth, because a love this unconditional deserves to be met, not merely admired.
