I deserve a rose,
Just before it begins to smile,
Like the Mona Lisa,

I deserve a ripe apple,
From the top of the tree,
A humble crispness as you bite in,

I deserve a hug,
Warm arms that encompass you,
Leaving their traces on your skin,

I deserve a happy ending,
I deserve a quiet day,
I deserve the summer,

I deserve a sign,
That you believe,
I deserve you
