Thoughts

I have always wondered if i could live forever,
  if i could see this world and STAY on this world.
I do not want to leave, 
  i enjoy the emotion, 
  i enjoy the people, 
  i enjoy the nature 
    but above all i enjoy my own concept of love.
I think love is not necessarily set.
 i think it is imagined, 
    much like a feeling here today 
         and hopefully there tomorrow.
Love scares me though,
  what if i become a worse person, 
  what if i create something and it does not love, 
  what if i love wrong?
What if 
   i never had heard of love? 
  Never seen it? 
  Never felt it? 
  Never watched it in a movie?
Would i be scared of this "Love"?
I feel as if i have never been loved because of all the 
       love which looks so unnattainable.
I want it,
        and i want it more than anything. 
I want everlasting love, 
  which by my own definition is immpossible.
So what is it that im looking for?
I think 
    what i am looking for is a pretty woman to hold, 
    a face to caress, a mouth to feed, 
    a person i can cry to and they would cry with.
I think 
    i am looking for a person to create something from everything.
I think what i am looking for 
       is myself.
