I see the raw bitterness & think it's beautiful

Colors of joy mix with sadness in my eyes

I see things differently then you

Like seeing it colorblind

I'm not sure you understand

I can see the emotions you hid

As clear as my own as I stare at a tear

That rolls down my cheek in the mirror

I don't wanna but I can see it

I can see that same ache in my heart

A longing

To be happy.

To be loved.

I see it in you as well

Have you found that person

Have you found your calling?

I wanna know if I've found that perfect love for me

What will make me happy as a career, a job

If I really have that 'Happily Ever After'

After I'm done

I can feel such a sweet ache in my heart

To be held.

To be with him.

Why does my heart question it so much when I'm away?

But then feels so full when I'm with him?

& ache so much when we have to part?

Is it always such a roller coaster of feelings?

I know that sounds cliche

But what else do I call it?

You know?

I wish it could be just us.

Nobody else

Alone on our own little island

No stupid anything to be in our way

Do you wish for your own world too?

I feel like I have for so long

But only recently do I wish fir it to have someone else in it...

To just me & him, right?

Is that selfish of me?

To want that?

To have that kinda request?

Or isn't it?

Do others wish for this?

Wish to be away? For a better place?

Love & happiness with there partner?

Or is that another thing 'unique' to me?

Maybe I can just say yes

That it's okay

That my family can't change my heart

My friends can't change my heart

But he. He definitely can

& why not he's mine.

& me I'm his...
