Love

I seem to have forgotten
I’m desperately searching.
Wishing,
For some clue to help me remember.

Will you show me?
Will you show me how to love?
I have forgotten what love is
I don’t know how

Teach me, I beg you
Teach me to love again,
I miss it so
For love is what every human strives for,
I have nothing to strive for anymore
Please teach me how to love

Without drive,
What is the point in living?
I must know,
How does one love?
Have I lost is permanently?

Before, I took it for granted
“Everyone loves,”
I thought.
I was wrong.
Do you know what it’s like to lose something
You didn’t appreciate to its full extent?

Do you know what it’s like to not be able to love?
People love their parents
Their friends
Their pets

I have no one I love
I should love them
But I don’t know how

So until you teach me,
I’ll just pretend to know
Pretend to love.
