A boy... But it takes a man.

A boy can love a million girls.
But it takes a man to love one girl a million ways.
A boy can take your heart.
But it takes a man not to break it.
A boy can make you laugh once.
But it takes a man to put a smile on your face forever.
A boy can kiss you.
But it takes a man to make that kiss mean something.
A boy can say he loves you.
But it takes a man to truly mean it.
A boy can say you're sexy.
But it takes a man to say you're beautiful.
A boy can hug you.
But it takes a man to make you feel safe in that hug.
A boy can lie to you.
But it takes a man to be honest all the time.
A boy can leave you.
But it takes a man to stay with you forever.
A boy can move on.
But it takes a man to try everything to steal you away again.
A boy can lose a battle.
But it takes a man to not give up until he wins.
A boy can not care.
But it takes a man to genuinely care how you feel.
A boy can...
But it takes a man to be better.

Meaning

Give us a meaning.
A definition.
An answer.
Expose us for who we are.
Bare ourselves.
Totally natural.
Open our hearts.
Unblock us.
Peeled back.
Listen to our cries.
Give attention.
Hear us out.
Love us no matter what.
An adoration.
A longing.
For you gave us a meaning.

My Tree

My Tree

I love my tree
So tall
So full of life
So strong
So green
This mighty tree of mine
My tree shelters
When the sun is hot
He stretches out towards the clouds
Gasping for water
So tall
Yearning
His thirst is quenched and begins to change
Though I marvel at why he likes yellow and orange
The chill sets in and he shivers
So full of life
I wonder why he is so unclothed
He quakes in the wind
And claws at my window
So strong
I empathize for him for I too am chilled
But we’ll warm up
Soon the coolness will vanish
He becomes the tree I once knew
So green
This mighty tree of mine
I love MY tree

Comically Philosophical: Life

Life.
Who knows that it can contain?
There are so many different things that happen in one's life.
Just the "if" in life can come up with thousands of outcomes in life.
Surprisingly you can make the word lief.
And no i'm not just spelling it wrong.
It's actually an old English term meaning love.
So there is love in life?
But then you can make file.
And who likes to file stuff?
Or are you supposed to file loved memories of your life?
Elif?
Now you're thinking im just making stuff up huh?
But i'm not.
Elif: a common female name in turkey.
So is there a little femininity in all of us?
It's in life.
What happens if...
What if....
If I...
If they...
So many questions fill life.
Yet I enjoy the lief in life.
The simpleness of the meaning.
Love.
Life and love.
Or is love life?
Are we meant to live life in love?
Or is love our lives?
Is love the epitome of life?
What happens if....
What if....
If I....
If they....
I live for love.
Or do we all live for love?
The longing sensation to love.
You can't complete life without lief.
Nor can you complete lief without life.
Look differently at life.
And see the lief, file, and elif in life.
