- Hello I'm back again after finally finding inspiration again. I have been stuck with writing an original story that I have been craving to write poetry again. I found my inspiration from this amazing little manga called Citrus.-

I hate love because I crave it
Want to be thirsty for someone
As if I were stranded in a desert
Dating is but a plastic version of love
A Barbie doll version, cookie cutter
Imaginary and mildly fun
Never setting my nerves alight
Failing to leave me speechless
I want to be speechless
For no words are needed between us
I want to be unable to shut up
As I know I can trust you with everything
Love is a half erased equation
And I need you to come bearing chalk
Fill in the gaps so we can know
The imperfect perfection of togetherness
You are not perfect and I am worse
But the lows will be worth the highs
I tell myself I hate love
In truth I only despise its' ghostliness
I see it yet I have found mine
I have found that soul that will be
Both best friend and family
That elusive undefinable someone
Though I know you were alone
Adrift in the sea of humanity like me
Navigating against the currents
We have finally had out ships pass
Yuzu
I want to be yours so you know
That you are never alone
You are perfect in your flaws
Because flaws help both of us grow
Your face is known to me today
As I bitterly denounce our love in my head
I can't even fool myself
With your anchor I shall stop drifting
This day I find you cursing love
We will talk about shallow dating
Complaints and shared grievances
Weaving themselves into a conversation
And with me realizing it's you
And you realizing it's me
Our fake hate for this thing they call love
Will be the prelude to it
