Love
Something that's alwayz scared and yet intrigued me
Something that can easily be misconstrue by others
Something so complex yet so simple
Love
Something I've yearned for
Yearned for on many levels and in many ways
Let me explain
I yearn for the love of others as friends
To be accepted as the real me
To be cared about at all times
To be heard even at the darkest hours
I yearn for the love of a lover
Not only for sex like some look for
But someone I can hold
Someone I can entrust my soul in
Someone I can share my needs and desires with
Someone I can discover my true potential with
I yearn for the love of a family
A family that accepts me for my imperfections
A family that has my back no matter what
A family that knows the true me
A family that doesn't dwell on my past mistakes
But help me through the future
I yearn for love at all degrees
Love
Something that's alwayz captivated
Something that can easily be misapprehended
Something that I've alwayz longed for
And will continue to til I'm fulfilled.
