I am feeling too lonely
today.
I know I'm young,
I know it won't happen for a long, long time.
I know it may never happen.
But I long for the warmth of someone else's body.
I long to be loved,
Not because I may be beautiful on the outside,
But because they think I am beautiful on the inside.
I long to be loved for my flaws,
My imperfections,
My mistakes.
I long for someone to care enough to kiss my scars,
And wipe my tears.
I long to fall deeply, deeply in love with someone.
But I am still too young.
So today,
I am lonely.
