Lust not found

After a long night at work, it was time to go home. It's a beautiful night, stars high and bright in the sky with no clouds in sight. Flowing through the sky were birds, not singing or saying a word. I came to ask myself, "Why must I be so selfish?". It was no wonder why I've been alone. Alone, for years with no end. Day after day it becomes more irrelevant that work comes first. "I just don't want to be alone any longer.". Tonight, my mind has changed after being sick from all of the pain. Dream job or not, with wealth or not, it was time to find happiness and not fame. Following the heart is not always the easiest thing to do, but it's relieving. There was this girl once, who was very intriguing. She played guitar and had a smile that turned me the opposite of blue. Red, fiery passion soon ensued, but it didn't last long. It crashed and burned. She may have not even cared. There will always be heartbreak. For my sake, however, that's not what I shall take. True love is my true desire, burning passion that's not for hire.

Raised with two loving parents, it kind of set a tone. You're exposed to strong love every day, realizing it's easier to not be alone. Who else would help you through the struggles and mistakes? Everyone needs support to live a happy life through all of the insanity and high stakes. Society is so critical on each individual, you can barely even catch a break.

Love is gentle; it makes you feel at home. Have you ever spent a day in your room alone? Nothing to do, no one to talk to. Eventually, I'll go insane from it and bury my face in my own statue; The statue of regret and sorrow. I can't stand the fact I'll even be alone tomorrow. But patience is key and eventually I'll see that nobody is perfect, including me. I need someone who will accept that fact. Every second of the day having my back, love that won't just retract. Not much luck has been given to this cause, so for a long time I put the idea on pause. But now it's back and stronger than ever. Finding that right person will be like watching the day's weather. It'll go by slow, but eventually the sky will shine; I'll find you, stranger, and you're going to be mine.

When you find that one special person, things change forever. She becomes higher valued than sunken-ship treasure. Personally, looks aren't everything; there's much more to it. Being able to rely on somebody, and when they say they love you; they actually mean it. Finding comfort-ability with someone you can spend days on end with, even when they upset you to the point you think of sins. But it all becomes as clear as an ocean on a beautiful day; calmer than silent wind. When that day comes, don't let that person go. Living with regret is much worse than feeling sad and alone.

I've always wondered how it would be if love didn't exist. Would men be happier without a mistress? I got a lot of questions for this world. Most may never be answered, but why not give it a whirl? What if you could know who you'd be with for the rest of your life? Anticipating that day until it becomes reality could be a serious vice. Everything has a way of working itself out, possibly through an unconventional way. I'm usually not a man of much word or thought, but this walk has me reevaluating what I'm not.
