It's just a thing

It's just a thing,
Just a thing on T.V. or in a movie,
You see the perfect life,
Staring you in your eyes, looking deep into you.
You pass it by but it still somehow lingers in your mind.
How can it happen?
Why does it happen?
I stare and sometimes daze off,
Wondering what a perfect life would be like,
Would I be rich? Popular? or not -
What would I have to do,
In order to feel the love that you see in the movies,
Where someone would give up eternity for that person.
I long for this, as I do not have it.
It is a security, but something that can make or break you.
Why do I want this so much?
I am moved with these movies.
Where the love is so deep,
And yet still things go wrong and people get hurt,
But still, I want it. - why?
Is this thing, this passion I see actually true?
Or am I oblivious to reality?
I want to have someone to hold
Someone to care for and to love.
Someone to care for Me,
and to love Me for who I am.
Will I ever find this person?
This thing I crave?
I look for it everywhere and anywhere possible.
Am I looking too hard?
So I push forward and hope to find something nice,
If I don't then I need to remember, it's not everything,
It's not anything,
It's just a thing.
