i sit here, staring blankly at a screen
thinking, just how easy it could be

an arm draped over a shoulder
a thoughtful gift, with a handmade touch
the simple acts of kindness you see everyday
let me see just how easy it could be
to love a person

i want to love the way her hands move over paper
and the way his heart is always open
i want to love a strangers kindness
and a friends strong laugh or gentle smile

i want to look into their faces
and see humanity
i want to see a person, full of emotion and opinion and life
i want to see something that can be loved

i want to be something
that can be loved
