The idea of you is everything that I want, but a want is not a need.
A want is a happiness that only lasts for a moment.
A moment that only lasts hours, minutes or seconds.
It is never considered to be long lasting.
I was young. We were young,
Yet we planned our whole future for when we were adults.
We were going into 6th grade, middle school.

What is it to need something?
Some people describe it as what you need to be happy.
Others so that your heart keeps drumming.
I, however, describe it as intangible.
What I need may also be what I want
happiness
is a scary thing.
it can be taken
so easily,
ripped away
from your grasp,
snatched away
from your clutch
when you’re already
so comfortable,
so accustomed.
I am sorry,
I am a slut.
I dream for what I do not have.
I crave his touch if only for a second.
For his attention to get off of you and on to me.
A day of this and nothing more,
that is all that I've to live for.
With my lover gone and dog long dead,
He looks at me
And sees my love that is asleep.
Through the iron cast bars-
Of his baby's mansion .
He looks at me
like I am ripe fruit.
And I think that's fine by me.
I have a want inside meNot for anything in particularJust a want, a need, eating away inside me
All everybody wants it to be happy,
But how could they strive for such thing when
Happiness is the epitome of elusiveness?
Then again, some people are more hopeful than others.
