Declaration of Autonomy

I knew forever,
In a fleeting glance that burned.
I touched the sky,
Smile in hand to make heads turn.

Did you expect me to forfeit Heaven,
Like it wasn't my chance to shine?
To let you have it all,
My beans to become your vine?

Ha!
I disdain you with a look,
Laughter in my eyes.

Sure, I know you want me,
But I am only mine.
I am not a trophy for you to toss upon your shelf,
Nor will I become the tool to add another notch to you belt.

Perhaps that is the reason,
That you regard me with such greed.
For I knew forever,
In a fleeting glance that burned,
And the smile in my hand loves to make heads turn.

Yes, that is the secret that makes me such a prize-
That after all of that,
I am only mine.

        people don't understand that love is something that you can't see by physical appearance but by what we see inside the other's heart. Love that thrives on lust will never flourish the way love that is based on values will. I despise the fact that some guys only like a girl because she looks good and dates her without a clue about what her personality is like. I do my best not to love based on looks. I always try to find other things I like about a person besides physical appearance before going out with her. Love takes time and it takes more than a couple days to decide you like someone. And sometimes it just doesn't work out.
