In Need of Wisdom


Dear Old Wise Man,

I have a question for you.

Is it possible to fall in love with an idea?

Excuse me, an emotion.

Is it possible to fall in love with an emotion?

It's so ironic, honestly.

Who loves love? It seems to be only me.

Maybe because I'm only sixteen,

Or maybe because I am in need of it.

But no matter the reason, I do.

I love love.

I crave it.

I fanasize it.

I can't wait for the day I will feel it constantly -

With my husband, with my family, with my friends, with my job, with myself.

Maybe others don't imagine love so much because they don't need to.

If they feel it all the time, what's left to the imagination?

But I am broken on the inside.

So I will keep loving love.

Love,

Jade
