What makes one person
 So much more
important than the rest
         Someone who
excites you
         Someone who
entices you
Someone who has all the qualities you’re looking for
  Or someone who
catches you totally off guard
               Brings
something new to you
                     you never knew you wanted
                             and now you can’t live without
  two versions of one self
     easy –
comfortable
           reinforcing
or someone who challenges you
  brings you where you’ve
never been
 what makes a man a good friend
 and another a
passionate lover
the things you have in common
 or the mystery of
something else
the ways they give you what you want
 or the ways they
challenge your desires
the way they balance life out
 or the way they take
you higher
                     a
whole new world outside of your own
                                 fascinating — yet far from home
                      being something you thought you couldn’t
                      enjoying things you thought you wouldn’t
 qualities that make you curious and compelled
   or keep you in your own little cell
the challenge of opposing sides
 or the same safe easy
ride
the confrontation of something new
 or someone to agree
with you
seeing things the same
comfortable way
 or waking up in each
brand new day
 there are no answers to these questions, you know. The scientist in me was striving to find a formula, or course, a recipe for my desire. And now that love has finally appeared to me, I realized that love is all these things. It’s not an either, but simultaneous. True love is a miracle, it is. And worth waiting for.
