Love and Lust

Love is beautiful
It's patient
It's kind

Lust is ugly
It's animalistic
It's too easy to find

Love is getting to know someone
Love is singing and dancing in the rain
Love is coming together
Love leaves no room for strain

Lust is making a quick move
Lust is just wanting to conquer a body
Lust is having nothing to lose
Lust leaves you bruised

I don't know if you ever loved me
But I don't know if you lusted after me either
I know you wanted me
You made it clear

But we never did anything
We kept our hands to ourselves
We talked about each other's fears
Our lives and our dreams

I tried to compromise
You tried to learn how to care
We tried to do everything right
But maybe we were wrong and immensely unprepared.
