i know what its like to need someone. to have them say goodbye and let go of your hand, and feel like the world has stopped, and in order to keep it turning, to make sure the sun sets and the rain falls from the sky and to keep your feet moving one step forward, two steps back,
you need them there, holding you, loving you, and needing you, too.

i know what its like to want someone. to have that irresistable urge to kiss them, or sit there and just stare into their eyes and think "this is real beauty." to want their hand on your hip and when they kiss you to run their fingers through your hair. i know that lust. i crave for it.

i know what its like to miss someone. to feel lost, empty, incomplete. [there are way too many words to describe that feeling.] but not just miss a lover - no no no - it hurts no matter who you miss. that pain stabs at you like a thousand and one knives and it kills and it strives and it just wants to be whole,
even if it cannot be.

i know what its like to love someone. now now, don't get your jumpers all in a bunch - i've never been in love. but i have loved and i have felt things i never thought i could imagine feeling in the root of my stomach - where i was being stabbed just a few moments ago. its magic, its lust, its trust. its everything.
it's beautiful.
"when the sound in the air is dishonest,
when the people who preach dont believe it,
i wonder how long it will take to catch on
before everyone sees through the bullshit

its a trend in the ballads i'm hearing,
what will sell and accumulate fortunes,
you can act all you like with the songs you don't write
but those verses won't make you a poet

your premise your presence your press,
am I the only one who thinks you're a mess?
you've been rich all your life and made up sacrifice
and just bought your way into success

maybe learn from the people beneath you,
or the ones who you claim have inspired you,
let your vanity wither and try to consider
that were all staring clearly right through you.

i don't believe you."

you're telling us you know what it's like to want someone so bad, you have to pull them two steps back for every one step forward? And that if they don't let you hold them back, you'll act like the world stopped spinning, and say you want to kill yourself? No, I don't think you have been in love before, this poem illustrates that quite effectively
