like when we were kids

theres something missing.

I could never forget it, even though i’ve never felt it.

when I was a little kid, I would tell my mom my soul came here for love.

we are fed stories of romantic love and princesses at an early age.

so of course thats what I thought it meant.

but now I know it is bigger then romance.

there is something missing in this world.

and I know I came here to bring it back.

can you feel it too?

like you’re craving something that existed once, long ago.

a memory embedded into your cells.

theres one place, it still exists.

friendship.

when you care for someone, without trying to get anything out of them.

when you love someone, not because of what they have, or what they have done.

just because.

when you inconvenience yourself simply because you care.

its tender, its innocent, its devoid of control, and judgement can never seem to latch on

we live in a world where everyone is trying to get something out of everything, and everyone.

everyone is trying to become someone special, do something big.

but maybe I didn’t come here for this.

maybe I came to love, like when we were kids.
