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.
