Entangled Enlightenment
An escape from your reality, to mine.
The Qualifications:
Be there when I least expect you to stay
Love my dog as your own
Hug me until I feel safe
Make me laugh
Never say I am crazy
Let me calm down before proving you are right
Be appropriate at formal parties/dinners
Understand that I like alone time
Hold my hand
Kiss my forehead
Let me sleep in your lap in the car
Stop tickling me when told
Let me vent
Love me even when I do not deserve it
It sounds harsh and rash to claim that I know neither of you are the one. I look at my future, and I choose not to spend it with either of you. I think of who I want to be, and with you I cannot achieve that.
It is scary to think I am going out into a world where people have already found their one. To walk out into a vast world with hopes of finding a happy ever after seems hopeless.
Yes, it is easier to settle for you high school sweetheart, your international, fling, and the bad boy. Yes, they are options. But are the true? Are they forever? The answer is no. And knowing that, I can walk out into the world without love, and believe that someone out there will be the one I could never imagine living without.
Trying to breathe as the world caves in.
Try to find myself in a world full of sin.
Trying to laugh as the jokes make thin.
Trying to find myself as life grows dim.
Trying to stay strong as the tears begin.
This is a time for me.
Despite how selfish that may seem.
It is the way things need to be.
We get so caught up in the facade of Twitter re-tweets, Facebook likes, and overall acceptance of acquaintances.

We get so caught up in the facade.
That we forget to nurture the real.
I would hate to imagine a life without sunlight
I would hate to imagine a life without laughter
I would hate to imagine a life without childish play
I would hate to imagine a life without patience
I would hate to imagine a life without security
You are my sunlight
You are my laughter
You are my childish play
You are my patience
You are my security
And I would hate to imagine a life without you
