Listen To the Warm

"It happens just because we need to want, and to be wanted too, when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and... listen to the warm.” -Rod McKuen


When you’re young, there’s no need to respect tradition.
You want them, they want you, and none of you are look warm.
Break out, live freely and don’t hesitate to give yourselves satisfaction,
because happiness consists of what you give yourself, and what you state as within the rules.
When kicks take, and you begin to question your morality,
just remember that the meaning of life is to love as you can,
and that your responsible to yourself for your own actions and truths.
It’s your life, and even though you may be out with tradition,
you’re still within culture with your pulse sensing life’s and not standing lonely as doctrine.
Your boyfriends mean something to you, and dignity comes from them.
