Love the idea


		I love.

		Or I think I love.

		I love a girl.

		Or do I love an idea?

		I love the idea
		Of the comfort that she brings me.

		Infatuation

		Of someone
		I don't know so well -
		Just because she's amazingly beautiful,
		Just cause she makes me feel good.

		But doesn't any girl have that power
		Once I've given it to them?

		For I let my hope rest
		On one
		Or many.

		Often satisfying and disappointing -
		But easier,
		With immediate benefits -
		And reaped, it tempts again.
