Opposites Don't Attract

OPPOSITES DON'T ATTRACT

they say 'opposites attract' but i think

people like us fall in love with people

like us.

we fall in love with ourselves.

               i think it takes more than just anyone

to be with one of us. we see the deeper parts

of people. we long for their souls,

                  for their gardens of thought,

      for feeling their backbone, their spine,

      inhaling the words they breathe.

  we see more in people because of what we

know ourselves.

i think we fall in love with people like us,

people with beautiful words,

and thoughts, and glances at strangers and 

                      artistry. we can just wake up in

the morning.

and go to work.

we want to lie in bed,

count the freckles on our shoulders,

how many times a rain

drop

hits

the window.

we breathe differently. we strive off of beauty,

that's why we settle,

      for just anyone,

      who's different. there's got to be a person

we find beauty in. who thinks, and feels, and

wonders.

                      as remarkably as we sometimes do.

i think we fall into people who are a lot like us.

because they understand,

                                                appreciate,

                                                                     relate,

and know the way we experience and feel.

and i think that's important.

they say opposites attract, like magnets, they're

pulled, from different places, ending up together.

but we don't need opposites, or magnetic force.

we're on the same side, north or south, 

we don't need to be pulled together.

we're already there.

(becasue people say things and this is my

explanation for them)
