Beauty and Love (my first attempt at a poem in a very long time)

[flEEcErollEr]

Beauty and Love
I always thought
I knew what it was
I tossed around my emotions
Thinking it was
Beauty and Love
I took it for granted
Living every day and night
Knowing it would come
Beauty and Love
They came and went
Slipping by
While I
Looked for something that was not
Beauty and Love
Then that one night
My vision and head were cleared
I had not seen Beauty
Nor had I felt Love
I looked outside
For these before
I saw that night
That was wrong
I looked to the inside
Inside myself
My mind
My heart
And inside my soul
Inside others
In their feelings
Their action
And their thoughts
That is where there is
Beauty and Love
I look now differently
For this Beauty
And for the Love
I looked inside my friends
And found that this
Beauty and Love
Was always there
I found it there
And I found it here
Within myself
Never taking for granted
What I have
I try to share my
Beauty and Love
For the rest to have
Then there was the one
I had not seen nor realized
What was there
She captured
My heart and my soul
Like I have never known
I took to long to see
Not realizing what this could be
I did not take
All the smiles
And all the hugs
For all they were worth
But now
I wish
Those smiles
And those hugs
That I still receive
Would last for an eternity
Those short moments in time
How I wish that
They could stay
Forever frozen in time

i forgot,
here is a little background on why i wrote this poem, i have spent 2 years at a very prepy, rich, and amazingly beautiful school where everyone looks good, living in this environment i became somewhat shallow, took for granted the beauty that was surrounding me, and I also had a tendency to start liking girls as soon as i met them and then shortly after, i would think that i was in love with them. After the first time I rolled, I realized how beautiful my surroundings were, and that i was looking for peoples skin deep beauty, and i also realized that i had never truly been in love, because no one had made feel as happy as i was when i was rolling and i knew that it was a chemical that causing me to be that happy and actually being in love had make me happier than that. Then, later on, I realized how I actually felt about one of my close friends, and i have never felt this way before about anyone
