Love & Lust

The boundary’s between love and lust stretch so far It’s sometimes impossible to tell the difference, We’ll see. I LUST after her because I LOVE her, Don’t I? I envy the life they have, The kind of life I LUST after, The kind of life I’d LOVE to have, Or do I? I hate the LOVE they share because I LOVE her, Or do I LUST after her? I LUST after the beauty of her face, The softness of her skin, The gentleness of her touch, That’s what I LOVE about her, I’d LOVE to be perfect, It’s what I LUST the most. I would LOVE for her to LUST after me, The way I do her, I think. I LUST after the perfect family, I’d LOVE her children to be mine as well, Wouldn’t I? I LUST after answers, I’d LOVE to have them, I think I’m confused. LOVE & LUST commonly known as OBSESSION, But NEVER the same thing.
