L.U.V. - One Thing I Cannot Live Without


One thing I cannot live without, you ask?

Well it is as simple as finding "x" while it is nowhere in the equation.

It is as simple as rocket science to an infant.

It is even as simple as a human creating life from the dust.

It is is so simple in fact,

It can be compared to the simplicity that is finding a purpose in life while in my teenage state.

One thing I cannot live without, you ask ?

I cannot live without it for reasons I cannot explain

I've craved for it as a child 

I've cried over the lack of it all through my years

I've gotten it from the worst of places and also from the best of places

I covet it 

I thirst constantly for it 

As does every human or soul 

We fight for it 

We may lie for it 

Some even die for it 

One thing I cannot live without, you ask?

Love

Unlimited &

Virtuous

Such a thing may seem cliche

or out of the closest teenage novel

But without it 

I feel nonexistant

I feel unheard

I feel unseen

That is why I cannot live without it
