WHAT NO ONE EVER TAUGHT ME

"I know that.
I know it's nice to receive a text message in the morning,
Brimming with love from the passing night,
A reminder that whatever the stars will leave on your skin,
His love for you will not be outshone.
To have someone you can share your deepest secrets with,
So deep that the skies and the oceans become one.
To love someone so vividly and raw,
It closes in on you every time the memory of him crosses your mind.

Yes, I know all of it.

But I also know that it's great to brew yourself a cup of coffee in the morning and sip away the sadness that crawled on your skin the night you slept.
To take a warm bath and wash away the feeling that a better life exists somewhere else where you're not at.
To watch the sun set and the sun rise,
And know that you are one with the universe.
To take yourself to art museums, and buy yourself flowers,
Not because someone else told you to,
But because you want to.

Fall in love, human, with yourself or with someone else.
That's all there is to live for. "
