There are many things in this world that I wish I had

Several things that are already in my possession

And very few things that are essential for my survival

But there is only one thing that I actually need

In order to feel alive

To feel that addictive pleasure everyone clings to

That hate that no one can let go of

To feel anything at all

And no matter how much the term is overused

All I need in my life is love

Because so long as there is love in my heart:

For my friends

My future

Myself

My humanity will never go away

I will always be happy

I will always be me.

Love gives what all humans strive for

And that it is true happiness
