[hometext] => We all have a purpose in life... I feel as if mine is to love somebody. Well, I do. And with this, I tried a little free-verse.
[bodytext] => It must be spring fever, We are all warm inside. It feels like all we do Is chase each other. We run around in circles Like chickens without heads. We try and receive That one sense of direction, Only to help us realize We are running opposite directions From those we love. That would explain the cold, As if we have been Shadowed against the sun. We all live in the shadows of life, Only to be critized By love itself. And struck by Cupid himself. Against all odds, We feel completely superior Like we are all invincible. But most of us aren't. So in return, We feel invisible. We are only seen By those who want it. By those who want us. With them we are like Flashlights against the landing gear Of an airplane. We go from invisible, To brighter than the sun. And for those people We'd walk through the sun. To get there faster, We would not walk around But instead straight through the middle. We would reappear as shadows, Still carrying that feeling Of love and warmth. To find that person, We would search the world. Only to quickly speak, Those three simple words: I love you.
