Somebody

I have been asked and have also asked myself many times what it is that I want in a person to be my partner, my ideal match. So far, the best answer I've found was stated in the lyrics of this song, Somebody, by Depeche Mode - not to mention that the song (meaning the music) is also great.

So, here it goes (with the obvious gender adaptations):

I want somebody to share

Share the rest of my life

Share my innermost thoughts

Know my intimate details

Someone who'll stand by my side

And give me support

And in return

He'll get my support

He will listen to me

When I want to speak

About the world we live in

And life in general

Though my views may be wrong

They may even be perverted

He'll hear me out

And won't easily be converted

To my way of thinking

In fact he'll often disagree

But at the end of it all

He will understand me

I want somebody who cares

For me passionately

With every thought and

With every breath

Someone who'll help me see things

In a different light

All the things I detest

I will almost like

I don't want to be tied

To anyone's strings

I'm carefully trying to steer clear of

Those things

But when I'm asleep

I want somebody

Who will put their arms around me

And kiss me tenderly

Though things like this

Make me sick

In a case like this

I'll get away with it

(Ooooh...)

Yep, of course, as you must have realized, I've been and still am waiting for that...
