still missing something

I know what it feels like
to be slapped on the face

I know what it feels like
to be told "I'm not gonna do you any harm"

I know what it feels like
to be called a whore

I know what it feels like
to be kissed

I know what it feels like
to be hugged so tight you never want to let go

I know what it feels like
to be told "you're very pretty"

I know what it feels like
to know you're still missing something

    I say never get married before you are at least 25 and get along with your partner before it all.

    that has been my plan always. :D
    the thing is that I don't want to get married more than once in my life so it's gotta be "special". :)

    I liked this, eMMI! :) And you're right, I bet many people have felt like this at one point. Thanks for sharing.

    great piece emmi
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
