To know. To be.

• I know a lot more than I was ever told. 
• I know a lot more than I can say. 
• I knew many things about you, 
• That were subtle nuances in the middle of perfumed love at the beginning, 
• But now stare glaringly obvious at everybody with a brain. 
• You want what you want until you don't want it, 
• Which is nice to be wanted, but is always followed by being unwanted, 
• Until I can be wanted again. 
• Not until I'm out. 
• Not until I've:
• Fought 
• Bought 
• Forced 
• My way out of a rear opening, squeezed back into the world, into the wild again. 
• Only each time I'm getting:
• Older 
• Sicker 
• Tireder 
• Crankier 
• More hopeless. 
• Still not ready to give up. 
• I romance the world. 
• Now I'm going to romance you.
