New (Generation) Love? = 16 - 2

Why is it that I will never desire your Love more than right now?

When it isn’t even mine to hold.

My thoughts, all driven by already getting you, that I pay no mind to the how…

And how am I meant to when the tweet of the blue bird is always keeping me trolled,

Keeping me even more unnoticed in the mist of infinite predators lurking for that kill.

But I’m not fully interested in the kill. I’m here for the hunt, the journey, the struggle

I guarantee none of those cheetahs can give you anything more than an oral contraceptive pill

Yet you’d still choose one of them–rather than the quiet, mystical owl because he’s no trouble.

Though I spend a lot of time up in the palace of my psyche,

Every time is a new adventure, me discovering–with you, everyday there’s a new land.

I will try my hardest to express this Love and hold onto the idea someday you will like me,

Even knowing it is very unlikely. Give me the opportunity and i'll have it for you to understand,

That if I had one wish, it would be for you to take a trip inside my mind

Giving you the chance to see how you are to me, an angelic swan. So sacred, so divine.
