Love or Lust

i look at you
i look and see pain,
happiness,
lust.
you smile in hopes that it will cover the pain.
i see right through it.
you lust because love is to hard for you.
happiness only comes around once in awhile.
i study all of you.
the way you walk,
talk, 
and breath. 
i want to feel your pain,
your happiness,
but not your lust.
lets take the next step.
i want your love.

very sensitively expressed,

I'm really impressed with how much you have improved it with editing. This is very straight forwardly spoken in a way but has a poetic dignity and strength.
