Love

Holy cow almost 2000 views, this is more than I ever thought this would get o.o

This piece has a certain yearning, maybe not desperation, but definitely a need of love. It's nice because I think we all can relate to this at some point in our lives... wanting that special kind of love, waiting patiently or impatiently for it... praying, hoping, wishing that it will arrive any minute.

First stanza: I get a sense of "macho-ness" from this stanza. Like, you think since you are a man you shouldn't dream of love, you shouldn't talk about these things... but yet at the end of the day, you do. Every man does, they may play it off like it's nothing, just a game... but in the end, we all want love. It's human nature.

Second stanza: Judgement is what this stanza speaks to me. You feel judged by an outer appearance or actions, they see you for something you are truly not.

Third stanza: Kind of the same judgement theme here, I like it. I like the freedom of speech part. It's true, we are free to speak but are always scorned if it isn't exactly what one wants to hear...we get judged by our opinions. It makes one want to keep silent at times to avoid confrontation.

Fourth: I don't think there is such thing as normalcy. Everyone is different, everyone has their own unique weirdness about them. It's what makes them, them. You'll find someone who matches you, who will get your quirky sense of humor and will understand your thoughts and will not scold you for saying so. :) Just takes patience, when you least expect it... it's when she'll show up. Enjoy life for what it is and love will fall into place eventually. :)

Wonderful poem, Aaron! Hope you're doing well!
