"Hi. I just called to say hi"
"Hi"
*Silence*
It's not love when you've given all you have and they have given nothing.
It's not love when you're the one waiting and they don't come.
It's not love when you're constantly questioning where you stand in their circle and they don't bother to tell you.
It's not love when you ask for the bare minimum and they still don't hear you.
There's no such thing.
Seeing a shooting star, manifesting from the universe, prayer, making a wish.
Nothing works. Nothing happens.
There's no such thing.
Oh, everyone can love a rose.
But go love a leaf.
Plain, ordinary and unnoticed, hidden behind the beauty of the flower.
Go love a leaf.
And notice how the smallest of things are what make the picture complete.
I don't want this anymore. I've had enough.
I'm worth more than this. I thought you may have known that, but you haven't realised it.
Set me free and leave me alone. Let what is meant for me find me, be it happiness, peace, longing and love.
If you've gone then why are still standing in the way?
I'll look up and see hearts in the sky. I know you won't though. You'll only see a mass of white cloud. Nothing.
But the trick is to look with hope and wonder. To see something in everything. To look for a sign in everything. To question, "Are you there? Are you talking to me? Show me".
And then you'll see.
