I long for love. Don't we all? But this is different, I don't want to be loved. I want to love. Isn't that the same thing? No. To be loved is to perceived, to be known, to be seen, to be held. I don't want any of those things, I'm terrified of that. To love is to perceive, to know, to see, to hold. I want all of those things, I ache for that. But to have one, you need the other. Then, I'd rather have none.
