Happily Ever After
I realized
I’m always longing
For something
That’s not within
My control
I’m longing for love
And I’m obsessed
With the idea of love
Over what it entails
Some of it involves
My own daydreams
And my tendency
To look at life through
Rose-tinted glasses
What does it mean to love?
And be loved?
I probably don’t have an
Answer to that
Since until now
It has been crushes
Or infatuation
That I may have experienced
Fleetingly
Love is too strong a word to use
For feelings and emotions
That come and go
It must be reserved for
Those special sentiments
That last for a lifetime
And more.
