***

I've been wanting to cry,

 

Not for any one particular reason,

I don't really know if it's because I'm happy

Or sad.

My life is great,

My family and friends are beautiful people,

But I feel out of place.

 

I'm here,

But I'd rather be elsewhere,

I am satisfied

But I'd rather be overflowing with joy.

Everything I eat

Had never tasted so bane,

Every color had never been color-less.

I'm am grateful

For what I have,

But there is something else

I haven't felt,

Not in a while.

 

I think it's Love.

 

Love that's not earned,

Love that isn't a word,

Love that doesn't want more,

Love that is grateful,

Love that is genuine,

The kind of Love

That hugs you so tight

You cry because you are reminded

 

That you are not alone.
