lost and found.

it's different,
right?
the feeling.
the love.
and the way you can handle it.

but is it really different?
or do you just want it to be different?

do you want to be alone?
do you want to be unexplainable?
do you want to be know as, that one person?

you don't know, do you?
but everyone else seems to know.
so you ask yourself,
why can't you know.

but maybe they don't know.
maybe they think that they know until they realize that it's so much more than they had ever expected.

we are all "lost" in this world.
i mean,
have you ever woken up one day and realized that you are "found".

didn't think so.

no matter how much you would like to believe that you know EVERYTHING about yourself,
in the end,
you end up surprising yourself even more so.

this may not be poetry,
and this may not be a book.
but this is a story.

but instead of it being about someone else,
it's about you.

about you getting closer everyday to finding yourself.
so then,
it could be easier.

no surprises,
no charges,
and no refunds.
just you.
