the hopeless romantic world

the world is a nervous wreck

i think

maybe because humans are starving for love

not physical love

well yes

i mean kind of

hugs and hands

and deep eyes

and the quiet of just there

no explaining

no excuses

no expectations

just breathing

and calm

and maybe stars

and dreams from afar

an acceptance in just being

even the imperfect that we hide

someone to be by our side

when the chaos will not subside

the fragile heart of being human

with someone else

to not be left alone

to feel

what it truly means to be at home

really anywhere
