I'm human.
I get hurt like everyone else.
I miss the feeling of having someone to hold, and to love - someone to care about. I miss being able to kiss someone goodnight, and fall asleep knowing that I've made someone other than myself feel amazing.
I've got so much to offer. I fall fast and hard. I put my all into everything. I get attached so easily; hurt so easily. It doesn't matter. I never give up. I'm not going to be cold or bitter because I've been hurt so many times. I know I've made mistakes, but none of them were terrible, and none of them were intentional. In my heart, I know I've always done what I thought was right; I've always done my best to make the boy I love the happiest person alive.
I've never dated someone who was quite like me in a relationship. I'd like to meet someone who isn't afraid of being hurt. I'd like to meet someone who cares about me enough to endure the hardship associated with my shortcomings. Because in all honestly, I'd never leave that person for his shortcomings. I'm stubborn, and I get hurt easily when I feel like my boyfriend has bailed on me, or has stopped showing interest. I have trouble communicating how I feel when I'm hurt, but I do my best. I try, and even when the words escape me, I keep trying.
Those are my flaws. I'm real. I'm laying it out. I'm clingy, emotional, stubborn, and hard on myself. It turns out those are my strengths too, but under different names. I'm loving, compassionate, strong-willed, and determined. My ambitions constantly exceed the limits that have been imposed on me, and I always prove my worth.
You tell me that I can't grow a tree out of pencil shavings, and I erect a forest. My life is dictated by ambition. My greatest ambition is to meet someone amazing who can handle all that I have to offer - someone who can appreciate the full extent of my personality.
If you exist, don't hide from me. We can be everything we've ever wanted.
Hurt me all you want. I can endure pain, but you have to be able to endure the same. Pain is a necessity. No relationship survives on joy alone. It is in those moments of hardship that the act of pulling together and remaining true to one-another will stand as a more powerful testament to our devotion than any other cleverly-contrived acts of love.
I want to hold you close and make you understand that you're everything I need. I don't even know if you exist. I can't give that to just anybody - no. It's has to be someone special. Someone I've never met.
I'll find you...
