If you want me, get me slowly, step by step, with lots of good thoughts in your head,
With your heart filled with love just for me.
If you want me, do not rush,
Take your steps slow but steady,
If you ever stumble on a rock of frustration,
I would appreciate it if you could think of me.
If you want me, do not throw an empty compliment,
A used, recycled phrase
Or a typical gesture of pity to me.
If you want me, you should first study me to know my liking,
My dislikes, the depth of my soul, my heart
To know if my heart is slightly tinted or pure.
If you want me
You have to be rich and enriched with philosophy, improved ethically, morally, and actively.
If you want me, don't stare my way; come closer, braver, and honest next to me.
If you want me
You have to be independent,
Free of laziness and clutter in your head
You must be in love with nature, aware of your true nature as a man.
If you want me, you must be religion-free
No prayers at night, no fear of God, empty of phrases, preaches, and unsentimental thoughts
You must be honest, trustworthy, and spiritually connected to God, then, me.
