To Be Unloved by Kirsten

To be unloved is to feel the crisp winds that autumn brings, but miss the exuberant changing of leaves.
To not be cherished is to hear the crackle of flames against the logs, but never feel the warmth it provides.
To be forgotten is to hear the waves crash against the shore, but to be apart from the alluring salty aroma of the suds. 
To not be captivating is to taste a savory, exotic cheese, but seeming incomplete without a delicious fruity wine.
To be fearful of love is to start an exquisite book, but then find out that the concluding chapter is still not written.
To be heartbroken is to suffer by the sting of a bee, but not be able to comprehend the motives behind fear of loss.
To not be pursued is to receive a letter, but have it be bills to pay instead of from a loved one.
To be lonesome is to walk through the park on a crooning spring morning, but not have a hand to hold for the journey to come.
To be searching is to wake up in the loneliest part of the night, but then to be abandoned by everything that is comforting and familiar.
To be undesired is to be knowledgeable in all things morally correct, but to be incompetent about matters of the heart.
To be unrequited is to be purposed to live your life as a whole, but still be in search of your missing half.


To be incomplete is to be unloved and because of this, never fully living.
To never have lived is to miss out on the thrilling, adventurous, forget-me-not life that everyone desires, yet almost no one has.
To have hope is to believe that one day, at one moment in your life, you will find that long desired, sparkling jewel instant.
To be a whole is to find them as they have found you and to accept and be accepted in a way you have never known.
To fully live is to be submerged into that person and to hold on until your last dying breath to a moment that will never again be repeated by the same people at the same time in the same way as your own purely unique story.
