we are born in times
where every one tells you
that you should come out and stand tall
be whole on your own
find ways to be happy on your own
do things your self
find ways to deal with things on your own.

then when you decide that is right
you start finding ways to be whole
you find ways to be complete on your own
you start building walls
understanding your price and value
realizing how foolish you were to depend all this while

then one day love comes
the perfect kind of love
that if given the chance could consume you
make you feel whole and complete
but your only looking to prove a point
that you can thrive on your own
that you do not need someone to make you feel right
you keep pushing them away
trying as hard as you can to see if they can stay
and be that strong partner just like you are
at this point you despise weak
you hate dependent, you expect something you do not even understand
from someone who cannot comprehend what you seek.

you want to be what the world thinks and would call okay
you forget that there are no words for okay
okay is only a feeling.
it may be never be put in words.
and that is the problem, the need to explain it in words.
some say its when you cannot sleep at night
because finally reality is better than your dreams
others say that its when the word love makes sense to you
i say..... there are .......no words.
