love

this may be the most basic truth of them all

everybody wants love

everybody wants to love
and everybody wants to be loved

in one form or another

even the most abstract
even the most distant
even the most self-sufficient
also the most difficult
and the most negative
even the most
hateful
person
actually wants love

if you meet someone who seems incapable of love
it doesn't mean they don't want love
it means they are incapable of giving or receiving love
or both

it may not be possible to understand why
the reasons may be incredibly difficult to explain
or they may be shockingly simple

but being incapable of love
is not the same as not wanting love

and whether you want it or not
you most certainly
need love
to
survive

love may not be
all you need
but it is
what
you
need

love without a doubt
is something that
we all need
both you
and
i

and if you and i need love
we can be sure
my friend
so does absolutely everybody else in the world
no matter
who
they
are
two more things we need
