chocolates and flowers


Don’t you ever confuse love for fulfillment in emptiness

Don’t you ever confuse love for laughter

Don’t you ever confuse love for compliments

Don’t you ever confuse love for flowers and chocolates

If you took all of those away you would feel lighter 

If you took all of those away you will retrieve time

If you took all of those away you will gain a friend

In yourself

In yourself you will find insecurities

In yourself you will find fear

In yourself you will find the answer

To who you are

Why you need fulfillment

Why you need laughter

Why you need compliments

And why you don’t need flowers and chocolates
