some things are worth holding

some things are worth looking for,
the once-forgotten dream.

some things are worth going to,
the never-again experience.

some things are worth giving up,
the self-deluded principle.

some things are worth saying yes to,
the lingering hold, the heart-numbing kiss.

some things are worth risking,
the maybes, the perhaps, and the might-not-evers.

some things are worth seeking out,
that elusive spark. that special person. the only one.

some things are worth having,
perhaps for just that second.
perhaps for just that moment.

perhaps, just perhaps, for now and never again.

but some things,

some things, are worth holding.


tell me little girl, what are you looking for?
