i cry more
not because im sad
because im vulnerable

not bad crying
not good
just crying

it hurts and i miss you
why do i miss you
i know i'll see you
why does it hurt
is it too much
too much is too much
but too much is not enough
i miss you.
come here.
now.

i love you.
i need you.
i want you.
all eight letters
all three words
all known very well
all felt
all hurt

why do we think of love like that
it should be just there
and kind
and beautiful
love is not needing or wanting
love is love
love hurts
love is great
love is really just a word
four letters
that's it
it's nothing
what really is something is the feeling
when your heart stops for a little
that's it
the word tends to complicate things
but in the end that feeling triumphs all
makes everything clear
makes everything okay
makes you okay
not just okay
more than okay
more than anything really
------------------------------------
is it real
is it
being perfect
can you
no
but to someone else
you could be better than perfect
to yourself
your far from it
