What do You Want?

“Do you ever think about what I want?” 

He looked at me seriously and then said, “I know. I should more”.

I let it go and looked away.  A slight breeze cooled the night air and I could see the stars over the fan palm that stands guard by his door.  I had wanted to ask him for some time but, honestly, I didn’t know myself.

He reached to touch my hand across the table.  I looked into his eyes as he asked, “Well, what do you want?”

I paused, wanting but somehow dreading the question.  I searched my mind but found nothing concrete.  I looked away and then finally, I answered from my heart. Turning my gaze back to him I said, “I want love to win.”

“What?” he said.

“I want love to win”, I repeated and then added, “In the world”.
