Legendary Love,
Right Now
By Harley Clayton
Is it such a request?
To have what everyone says is so great?
I want to love like all the bests.
And I don’t want to have to wait.
I want someone to carry me away, like superman
In their arms, like Lois Lane.
They could even be a super woman
But I don’t want any of the pain.
I don’t want a tragedy, like Romeo and Juliet
Or like Johnny and June.
I can’t stay quiet.
I want everything, even the moon.
We could even be like Bonnie and Clyde.
I want to go down in history with our love known
nationwide.
