Understanding

"I want someone who wants to understand me.

I am tired of feeling like always having to understand everyone else,

now I want someone who wants to know me.

Someone who has scars and bruises and is tired as well,

but still laughs at life and the sun and at the silly things.

Someone whose hands, no matter how soft or rough, wants to touch slowly and softly.

Someone who wants to hear me, who doesn’t want too much for me.

Someone who will feel the things I cannot put into words or writing.

Someone who wants to see me no matter how fucked up I am.

Someone who wants me to listen to them too, to see in their hearts and

lay in the sun with the grass blowing around us.

Someone who can still dream.
We are all broken, but so few really laugh with joy anymore.

I want that back.

I want someone like that.
Am I asking for someone perfect? I don’t think so.

I would be fine if you were broken beyond repair too.

All I ask is to be loved and understood.
I understand now."

-AMEN to that.

I see

"I saw you for the first time last night

and the sparkle in your eyes was immense.

How can they not see how you shine?

I heard you for the first time last night

and your voice was like chocolate.

How can they not hear the sweetness?

I know what you have been through.

I understand what you are going through.

And yes, its hard to deny that this can be a cold, hard, cruel world.

But you also cant deny the beauty in this very moment, and in our connection.

I see you, and I understand."
