Everything and nothing

Swipe left.
You swipe left when you see the bore tone of my name. When the thought of the pretty girl overrules that of me.

Swipe right.
You swipe right at the smile, the sign that everything will be ok.

Swipe left.
You swipe left when you see my body in that tight dress. I'm not one that you want to rip it off with lustful eyes and a desire for my love.

Swipe right.
As soon as you see my eyes, the depth of the wild colour that swims in the small orbs, you know that's the only thing you want to see when you wake in the morning.

Swipe left.
You swipe left as I'm only another girl trying her luck at this crazy thing that we are wired to desire.

Swipe right.
You admire the way that my confidence shines through my decision to try my luck at this crazy thing that we are wired to desire.

Swipe left.
The thought of committing your future to a stranger is terrifying. You don't know what you're getting yourself into as your finger slides over my image, moving me along.

Swipe right.
Long nights and endless hugs filled with small kisses and smiles of true. You see that future on my image and swipe to follow through.

Swipe left.
A brief look into your past. The troubles that lurk in your childhood are enough to scare me away.

Swipe right.
All of your perfect imperfections coming together with perfect symmetry to make something as perfect as you.

Swipe left.
You are both the worst thing to ever happen to someone yet your existence reminds them the importance of living.

Swipe right.
You are someone's someone. A reason for them to carry on with what they love as you are the motivation they need to wake up every day.

Swipe left.
You're a liar and a fool, to someone.

Swipe right.
You're so incredibly beautiful. You're sexy and true and lovingly you and your smile can brighten a room better than any light has the power to.

Swipe left.
You're alone. The reason we're both here in the first place. Maybe to find someone who will hold us in our sleep or someone who will hold us and tell us that we need them more than we need our sanity.

Swipe right.
You're the envy in their eyes. The person they wish they could be when they walk down the street wanting to be anyone else.

Swipe left.
You're desperate and trying to be someone you're not in the moment that they want your facade.

Swipe right.
You're different to the person beside you. Different to the person sitting across from you in a a lecture or on the train on the way to work. You're so unique.

Swipe left.
You're easily mistaken. People take advantage of you under the sole reason that you allow it. So naïve.

Swipe right.
You are truth. A voice that stand in the dark when there is no one else there to tell you how bad your hair looks. However, your honestly is the reason the world continues to turn; at least in their eyes.

Swipe left.
You're so desperate. Desperate to break you own heart in this game that we call love, by this person that we think is our soulmate until they are the ones that have caused such heartbreak.

Swipe right.
You are the sound of love and the first to make me believe so. I had the belief that no one can me as happy as I see in the movies, read in the books, until you waltzed into my life with a story to tell and no audience to share to. I chose to listen.

Swipe left.
You're the tear that races down your red cheeks after a fight. The thing that makes your soul look weak when in reality, the tear is just trying to escape the battlefield that's in growing inside you. It doesn't want to be there anymore, so it falls and falls hard.

Swipe right.
You swipe right at my body, the thought of how easily you could take control over the thing that is entirely me.

Swipe left.
You judge me for my appearance. The thought of bringing me home to meet you family makes you ashamed. Imagine what they'd think of us.

Swipe right.
You're worth the embarrassment because I portray it as pride. You're worth the looks because they wish they were me. You're worth every day and you make me feel as though I am too.

Swipe left.
You see my words about myself, looking further than the image; pictures can be deceiving. You don't like what I say about myself and move on without holding my memory in your mind longer than it takes to swipe me along.

Swipe right.
You read my words and believe there's more. I think badly of myself because that's what I've been told I've been degraded to. You want to teach me otherwise. Show me that I'm more than what I speak of myself to be.

You continue this pattern without thinking about it.
Not even on those apps that rely on appearance to determine soulmates, but in everyday life.
What fruit you take home from the grocery store.
What movie looks the best on the shelf.
What meal looks best when the images and words are portrayed to make you believe that they are far more worthy of your time than I will ever be.

Think about it for a second.

If only you talked about yourself the way that one would perceive you who's desperate, lonely, worthy, perfect enough, would talk about you.
They'd see far more than your own words and old image that you put up on the websites that make you feel humiliated and alone.
They'd see the loyalty in your smile, the trust in your eyes and the sexiness of your body.
They'd see it better than you do because they're looking for someone like you.
Looking for you, yourself.
You're not looking for you, you're looking for someone to look after you. Someone to play with your hair after a long day and sit and watch a movie with.
You won't find that someone if you're sitting in a room, judging people based on the words they say about themselves.

If they speak as badly about themselves as you speak badly about yourself, this game called love is just that. A game. An endless, emotionless game that will continue until a stop is put in place.
Be the person you want to envy, be truthful.
Be desperate, be worthy.
Be judged and be appreciated.
Because if deciphering between people on an app that filters appearance is what you chose to do, your time is better spent focusing on being that person. If you're already that person, congratulations and continue to swipe left and right, looking for the one in which to spend your life with.
But if not, you will get there. Then you won't need an app to tell who who's compatible because people will take a look at your eyes, your body, your smile, your stance and your personality and decide that you are everything.
Their everything.
Their perfection.
