love

I have experienced lust, I have had my fair share

I have been framed, I have played the blame game

I have mocked others who have been foolish

I have myself walked that road soon after and felt utterly wasted

But then things changed,

I spoke, I laughed, I cracked weird jokes

I found a spirit unbroken and charming

I was surprised it was me, the same me, cynical and discerning

what was happening, it was unlike me to not be bothered to not have my body signal warnings

I could in a long time, just be me

not be ashamed of that other person who barely understood -the paradoxes

I could turn my arrogant self on to the world I didn't approve

And I wasn't told to agree all the time

I could breathe, I could face my demons, I could really see the shades in this world like a

flipper colour book

I was no more trapped in the fantasy land full of handsome dysfunctional androids

I was with a real person

I was with a real man

I thus- was in Love :)
