Desire is all I once had inside of me…
the desire to grow
the desire to learn new things
the desire to understand all that I had learnt
also the desire to learn from all that I had understood.
It was also my desire to fall and be in love…
to grow with this love within me
learn new ways of love besides me
understand just what love had truly given me
but I am left only with desire.
For in growing I grew away from love…
understanding that love was not mine for the asking
not to hold… not for comfort… only in passing
as I say goodbye to every love I've known
and my desire… so far from home.
