In my desperate search for true love;
I lost myself.
This was a huge surprise for me; totally unexpected! Thank you :3
I can still remember,
some of how it felt.
The newness of things.
Each day being a sunny day
of newness.
Exploration
of what's all around you.
Exciting!
I can still remember the thrill
of it all.

The thrill fades over time
as life starts
taking its toll, its shots
at your body and soul.
Survival  mode takes over,
as the realities of life sets in.

Years pass ****** and beaten now.
But a survivor
of the gauntlet called life.

I can still remember some
of how it was to be young.
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

You tell me you regret her, that you wished I was your first,
I look at you with distain because you know the mistakes I've made,
I wonder,
Will you say to the next one,
"I wish you were my first."
It seems to me quite strange because you once loved her like you did I,
But Ill tell you this,
I will not regret you, I will not tell them Id wished you were they, because although we loved and lost, all that matters is the first.

I always thought we were friends,
just say the word and I'll leave,
don't make me suffer,
in all the lies I believed.
