Is there anyone who can hold me forever?
Regardless of how I feel or what I am in that exact moment?
s there someone who will say "I know who he is inside,
regardless of how his being is responding at this particular moment!"
Does that even exist?
Is true love just a shadow we spend our entire lives chasing,
just to find that we were the one casting our own shadow?
Then should our pursuit be self indulged?
We long for the omnipresent, to never feel alone,
and set our hearts up for certain disappointment and certain destruction of our heart.
Who can possibly live up to our personal expectations,
when we can't meet them ourselves?
So how do we expect another to live with our flaws and
shortcomings if we can't live with them ourselves?
Reality bites, but saves pain in the long run.
But don't follow me, I'm lost too.
