Inviting the feel of the cold winter's breath
Yet shunning it when it pays a visit
Feeling excited for the summer holidays
Just to stay inside and complain about the heat

Begging for love deep in our hearts
Just to not realise when it's here
Never realising something's true worth
Until that thing has truly disappeared

A lustful view of other human beings
Yet a desire for them to not return the favour
Breaking their vows just to hope for forgiveness
A lover in agony and their partner ecstatic

The human race is deep and complicated
Some love, some hate
Some leave and some wait
