Falling in love

I'm not speaking for all girls

Or any other person here

Except for me

But from my own experience

Falling in love happens two way

Either at first sight

Like when you really get a close look at someone

And feel like you can see

into the depths of their entire being

Or slowly

Over time

With small gestures

With deep heartfelt moments

Shared and enjoyed mutually

Where you feel the persons vulnerability

And start to let yours show too

And if those doors close

They aren't impossible to open again

But they do need mending

Forgiving

Building again

The great thing is that in order to repair

That broken in a true love

Only one party needs to put in the work

to get it going again

And slowly

Gradually

If your lucky

And persistent

With giving love

With giving space

With giving hope

The other person will open up to it again

If it was truly ever there to begin with

Totally different story if it was never there

To begin with

Society is a farce

These daily mascarades

These facades we carry around like trophies

Or maladies

And it gets so tiring*

To have to peel back layer after layer for people**

To see where I am coming from sometimes

To see themselves in the mirror

But I can see my own fallacies

I can see my own hypocrisies

And I guess the only true difference

Is

That I can admit to my own bullshit

I can admit to the masks I hold

I can see

Deep down

That when it comes right to it

We humans

Are all the exact same

Alike in our desires and needs

Alike in our psychosis and pains

We are so much more alike

Than any religion, government, sex, creed

Can ever try to force us to believe





* To have to carry all these "images"

Around with me

Of who I am suppose to be

Of how I am suppose to act

At any given time

** and also for myself (when I get sucked into the drama)
