I have always been consumed by the illusion
that you were all I needed.
But every time you pushed harder and harder,
I realized that you were the one thing
I should have needed the least.
Love is not the need for someone
to keep your demons at bay;
love is the exact opposite.
Love is a craving for a feeling
to share experiences with another being.
It is the moments in which you catch each other other’s eyes
and can’t help but smile, indulging in the excitement
of each other’s presence with no expectations or promises.
But to need someone,
that is now beyond me.
