I cherish the person I want to be loved.

Hi everyone. When I typed this sentence on my phone by thinking what I want it to be meant. After reading it again, I felt it could mean something else too.

My question is, do you guys think it meant The cherished person that I want, will be loved?
Or
"I love the person that I want, that's why I cherish the person?"(My initial thought how it should be meant)

If this sentence is too confusing how should I re-sentence it?

The full "poem" goes like this.

I do fight for
the things I want.
But I do not wish to fight for
or with the person I love.
Because you are not a thing to me,
you are a person.
a person I care about.
I cherish
the person I want to be loved.

It still does not make much sense.

When we want something, we don't have it. It does not make sense to want something if you already have it.

Cherish means love (deeply).

If you cherish someone, they are loved by you. They have your love.
Now you say that you want them to be loved, when they already have your love.

So you want
