“I want you, Sara”

“I want you, Sara” he sang to me once at karaoke
“I want you, Sara” he wrote to me which I thought was hokey
“I want you, Sara” he said to me in lieu of any other
“I want you, Sara” he knelt one knee “…to be a wife and mother”
“I want you, Sara for tonight and for all of those to come”
“I want you, Sara for reasons right and a few less wholesome”
“I want you, Sara say that you do too and I will do my best to want you, Sara from when you say I do until I am laid to rest.”
