To My Darling

I continually look around and see my friends getting girlfriends, and I still don't have one. Then I see them break up. My question is, what is the point?

To My Darling

My question is fairly simple.

How is it possible that I miss someone that I’ve never met?

Maybe I have met her, and don’t know it.

Maybe I should explore the depths of love.

But exploration is for the bold,

Not the timid, unsure, weak.

Maybe I should lead a life full of “I don’t give a care,”

But the problem is,

I do.

I wish I could just walk up to a girl,

Tell her how beautiful she is,

And let that be that.

How can I do that?

When I can barely have a normal conversation.

But maybe I could be bold, brave.

Maybe Me,

Could not be I,

And I,

Not me.

And together with our fake selves

Become the confident,

And with luck maybe I would find a girl,

Whose image is far more than I thought I could achieve,

Maybe love would come to us,

And I would be happy.

But soon kisses will become boring,

So I would give myself to her,

But soon even that would seem cliché.

So like an explorer,

I’d search and find out another,

Looking for more excitement.

And how many more times will I do this?

How many will I relinquish my love too?

Lover after lover

Give notes of intimacy and roses

Kisses after a movie

Valentine gifts with chocolates.

I will give all my love out.

And when I find her,

My true darling,

What will I give to her?

Will it not all be void?

All do overs from previous “lovers”

Will letters of endearment not seem déjà vu?

Won’t surprises of affections feel rehearsed?  

Will a kiss in bed mean as much?

Love,

We’re all looking for it,

But maybe it’s not something found,

Not something to be looking for.

It’s something,

That finds us.

I am not bold, not strong,

Not confident,

Maybe I’m not aloud to say this for those reasons.

But what if our love,

Was saved for that one person?

What if our purity,

Was saved for that one person?

What if the words,

Those three words that are said to much,

Were saved,

For that one person.

Wherever you are Darling,

I love you.

That was beautiful. I've often thought those thoughts, and wished I'd waited for that "one".
