To Grow Up

You and I 
Are just out of reach
And you 
Are everything
You are my perception of things
You are the name of every feeling
You are the satisfaction
That comes from
Seeing something through
You are the ability to make due
You are joy
You are drive
You are love
You are divine
It’s not that you are elusive
But I
Nothing lacking in your initiative
But mine
You are not unattainable
I am just unable
To attain anything
Worthy of keeping
Such as yourself
You are good habits
Clear skin
Decisive thinking
Commitment
Community
Clarity
A calm sea
Everything
I lack
I want to want you enough
To seek you with all my heart
But I’m a half-hearted gal
These days
And the growing pains
Radiate at a steady pace
Still
There is more grace
This is what it means to grow up
What it means
To grow
Up
