What a splendid journal to find. I will come back with something of more substance, but for now I just joined and I'm saying high.
Well, since I'm here, I'll post a quasi-poem I just wrote. It seems to fit the love theme. (I say quasi-poem because years ago, I used to write poetry. I don't anymore. And I took it seriously, whereas this is just straightforwardly how I felt at the time I wrote it, no more thought than that. It just happened to be repetitive enough to look like a poem ;P). Oh, and anyone is welcome to come to my journal, but be careful, as there is some potentially offensive stuff there! (Most of it's behind a cut, I think)

Life is so limited
It's so short
It's so confined
My arms only reach out so far
My light only stretches for so long

I want to know everyone
I want to love everyone, for who they really are
I want to feel everyone
I want to affect everyone
I want to touch their lives, and make it all better

I want everyone to know me
I want everyone to notice me, and remember me
I want everyone to approve of me
I want everyone to love me
I want everyone to feel my individual warmth when I walk by

I want my light to linger forever
I just don't want to be a face in the crowd
I don't care about being different, or similar, or cool, or fake
I just want to be me, and I want that to be enough

I want to make people laugh
I want to make people think
I want to make people remember, even when it hurts

I don't want anyone to fear me
I don't want anyone to ignore me
I don't want anyone to forget me, even when it hurts

But I don't want the responsibility
I don't have the time
I'm not in the right place
I'm only me
----- And that's not enough
