Real Love is...


holding hands should be,

to let her know you're there.

not for telling the world she's off limits.

kissing should be for the words unspoken between you.

not for sharing more then looks.

love should be for everyday life.

not just once in a life time.

love should be;

the tears drenching his sweater at 3 in the morning.

not the sweat soaking the bedsheets at midnight.

love is when you don't have to be close,

to be close.

love is having respect for each other.

not teaching it.

love is when warmth is shared in the mind.

not the blanket.

and for two halves of a whole.

not broken halves of a heart,

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves

This is good stuff. I hate holding hands to be pulled this way or that. Just hold my hand... Invisible girl...You Rock!
