Nearly 21

2015, the year I turned 21

Petty, pretty and affectionate lies
Blue, brown and all disapproving eyes
Given love a billion and two tries
That’s a billion and two hellos, a billion one goodbyes
I’m not talking smiles, texts and kisses
Laughs, calls, hugs and promises
I’m talking approval, acceptance
Not cause of what I do, because I’m me
Not because I fake innocence
Because this is all I can be
To be with someone true
I mean being with someone who...
Will tell me their biggest ideal
It doesn’t have to be noble or great
It just has to be real
I can always try and relate
I shouldn’t be telling you this
You’re just a facebook friend
But fuck it, you shit and piss
So you should understand
You see I care, and I care too much
I fall, and I just fall too hard
I love when I’m allowed only to touch
IDC, I never play that card
I fall, I fall easier than most
I’m a sensitive person, highly
I just find a person, and get lost
Fall for their every word, every stupid smiley
Not many dare to love, I do
You see, I never learn my lesson
I always save the most sincere “I love you.”
For the wrong fucking person
