How's this:
I've been all over the world and recently discovered that I've never really been in love. It seems odd that anyone could walk the planet that long and never really be in love.
I'm not saying that I've never "loved", that would be a lie. But, there is a huge difference between loving a child or a pet, for example, and being in love.
What I have is this incredible empty space, like being really hungry, but no matter how much you eat, it isn't enough.
Here's the problem. I build futures. I'm not sedimentary, I don't watch TV, go to bars or even drink. I write and create and build for other people. Why? I have few needs. The needs I have are packaged in one, and only one, very special person.
Who is she? I don't know. Well maybe I do. she's pretty, maybe not beautiful but pretty. She doesn't have perfect features or a perfect body. Some parts are too long, too short, too big or too small. Her eyes are, maybe not perfectly sized for her face and her mouth is maybe a little small. Put it all together and she becomes my perfect person. Let's not forget intelligence and personality. She's smart but doesn't know how smart. She's friendly but not really outgoing. A little unsure of herself and unsure about how life would be with someone my age. And when she smiles the room lights, her face radiates and every cell of her body smiles with a warmth that can only be described as captivating.
