"there are only two things i want in this world. i want you and i want us."

5 year old me
thought it was
sharing things with people
crying with them

12 year old me
thought it was
holding hands
the term "boyfriend"

15 year old me
thought it was
kissing
touching

18 year old me
now understands
love comes in many different forms
sometimes in words
sometimes in expressions
sometimes in staying
and sometimes in leaving.

In my desperate search for true love;
I lost myself.

"If enlightenment
is what you wish to attain
you must give away happy
an replace it with pain"
