Catch and Release

Catching feelings like fireflies
Can't tell if I'm in lust or love
Or if I've just gotten so lonely
     So starved for attention
That every gram of affection feels
Like fluttering butterflies

Correction: 
There is no love here
Just sex and greed
And a healthy dose
Of an anxious teenager
In over her head

Sex is just another sport; some just do it because everyone else does, some because they like it, some because it is a challenge, some just want to be the best that they can be at it, and many try to make more of it than it actually is! You can't enjoy sex as a ghost so enjoy it whilst you are alive - even when you can only write about it! Aloha! Rico
