Our Unfortunate Tendencies

I just want someone to get to know me. I want someone who can show enough interest in me to want to know every side of me. Someone who craves to hear about the darkest parts of myself. Nowadays, no one cares enough to know your last name. They want to lose themselves in meaningless sex only to wake up the next morning realizing that they still miss someone. Everyone is missing someone. Although some are better at hiding it than others...We long to get entangled with another in hopes of losing ourselves along the way. People will do anything to get rid of the pain. Countless distractions only masking our true intentions. The chemicals in our bodies acting upon lust instead of thought. We just want to feel something, but I don’t think that’s asking for too much. We long to be understood when we don't understand ourselves. We crave to feel alive when we have no idea how to live. I want someone to be interested in familiarizing themselves with me, not my body. I yearn for the innocent touch of another, honest and pure. I want to be the one that makes them forget that they were missing someone else, not for a night, but for a lifetime.
