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.

Confusion

If Life
Then death, right mom?
          Wrong son,
           If Death
           Then Life
If Life
Then death, right dad?
           Wrong son,
            If Death
            Then Death
If Life
Then death, right?
Wrong
           Wrong
                     Wrong
So mother
So father
If right
Then wrong?
