Reading Between the Lines

She’s manic On a highway to nowhere. Flawed in every way she can possibly imagine, but you are still compelled to know her, to want her. Why do you want her? Why is she beautiful to you when she was never beautiful to herself?

Why     does she have suitors who
try     and woo her repeatedly? Kiss her
and     try to make the spark only you can
make     for her? She wants something.
the     touch of your skin against hers? The
connection,     the paradise that will lead her
to     happiness? She just wants to be perfect to
someone     who’s perfect to her. Someone
who     can love her in such a way,
only     life itself could ruin. Who
knows     what happened to her to make her a
disaster?     She wants more than heartache.
Someone     can change her from this shallow,
disconnected      creature. Hold her and love her
for     her and himself. She has waited
so     patiently for that love for so
long,      and she is hoping you are the one
she     is meant to be with. He
does      not know her, so he does
not     deserve to have her, but she does
know      that you are deserving. But
how      can love be enough? Why are you drawn
to      every mistake you’ve ever made? All for
love?
