Somebody so different. So far apart. So far away. If only i could reach out to him... Tell him how I feel. Tell him what he means - what he means to me, If only I could. But, sadly, I can. I am physically able to reach out to him, and tell him what he means to me. But, seeing how I am, I'm not going to - and neither would you. You see, we refuse to put ourselves in that position. We would rather settle - for almost everything - and wind up giving ourselves nothing in return. You and I both know for a fact that we have no intention on being humilliated by rejection. We would rather force ourselves to hurt, and to cry ourselves to sleep, almost every night. Nothing within our power is able to shift this feeling...and it makes it even worse, having this guilt on our shoulders, knowing that we were the ones to cause this pain. We expect everyone to feel sorry for us. But, really, the only person that feels sorry for us - is us. No matter what we say; no matter what we do; no matter what we believe - we're bankrupt without love. And don't even try to say that you haven't been settling. You and I both have been settling for things that are less than perfect. It's stupid, and pointless. Because we both deserve perfection. And that's all I have to say for that matter. Yes, I know the saying "Nobody's perfect." But - love? Love, is seeing perfection, in an imperfect person. And, what's perfect to you - will sooner or later be seen as perfection to everyone else. I don't doubt it for a second. And neither should you.

In my personal opinion, I know I have settled far too many times in the past. My advice to you, would be to just...stop looking. Let perfection come to you. It honestly makes that "moment" al the more perfect itself. And, honestly, when it happened to me - I wasn't expecting it...at all. So, you see, it'll come to you when you least expect it. It may be in that moment where you turn your head the slightest bit, and have to do an honest-to-God double take. Or, maybe you're like me, and it's someone you alreadt know; you just haven't realized the perfection you see in them yet. Any moment. Any time. Any place. So, be ready. And stop your searching. Just stop, and enjoy life first. Don't let the things that are most precious to you, easily slip through the cracks of your fingers. And then - Maybe, just maybe! - a miracle will happen.
