A Want Ad From My Heart

Wanted: one man/woman
(aged 19-22)
That is tall, dark-haired, humorous, fair-minded, and strong.
Must enjoy old movies and even older music, dancing for no reason at all, late-night conversations, and cats.
Must be able to tolerate my absurdity, respect my creativity, give me my space, revel in my closeness, and understand my need for both.
Hugs must come often, kisses must be searing and soul-searching, and sex must never come up in conversation.
Remember the names of my uncles, love my grandmother, be friends with my friends.
Cherish our time together, miss me when I'm away, know my quirks.
Love me unconditionally, remind me often, laugh when I blush.
All those interested, please inquire inside.

Love Me, Love Me

I want to fall in love.
I want to fall in love so badly it hurts.
Not just ordinary, high school romance love,
I want to fall for someone so completely that I physically hurt when they're not around.
I want to be all twisted up inside, confused about everything, never knowing where I stand.
I want to only know that I'm in love, and I want that to be the only thing that matters.
I want to fall in love so badly that it hurts, and maybe I won't feel so hollow anymore.

Untouchable

I am Untouchable.
I distance myself from the world so that I can breathe.
People scare me as much as I scare them, but as long as they keep their distance, I don't mind.
I don't want to be Untouchable.
I don't want to have to hide who I am, to hide how I feel.
I want to feel, not just feel alone.
I don't want to be afraid anymore.
Please, I beg of you, don't hate me for who I once was, love me for who I may become.
Thank you, and goodnight.
