Lust

they say lust is evil, but is it? 
i want you to see it from my view, 
isn't money evil, yet wee kill for it? 
yes YOU!!!...  
  
lust is no different, wee need it to notice her, 
her figure, everything in perfect proportion and 
symmetry, yes, her boobs and bum stand out, 
she would be the water in a drought, 
thats why you saw her and could not stop staring.. 
  
lust is but a feeling, 
of wanting, 
of needing, 
a click in your brain that says you must have her. 
  
are this not the motivations wee need to approach her, 
be it being shy or scared, isn't lust what holds us together 
like glue, helping us, in what wee have to do? 
as a man, with a mission and passion. 
  
confidence, lust, are they not but the same? for what wee need 
for this game? 
  
they say a journey begins with a step, 
in this case, 
love is the journey, 
but lust... is the step.

Appreciation does does not need to be lustful. And we don't need lust to fall in love. Lust is being after the body, love is being after the heart that sustains the body and other qualities. That is why we sometimes fall in love with people that do not possess any noticeable natural endowment. Lust is selfish, love selfless, lust finds a reason while love is lost even to itself.
