I didn't intend this poem to be interpreted calling love a bad thing. That was never my intent. The best way I know how to explain the meaning is to break it down by stanza. The first is meant to explain that this poem is written through the perspective of someone who lacks sexual desire. The second attacks the media's potrayl of love. It was intented to refer to how sexualized much of the media has become, and how many people have begun to interpret all sex equating to love (too many people get hurt that way). Thats what I meant by the last line in the stanza: "Why do we find it suprising that people no longer remember that you do not have to touch somthing for it to be real?".  The third stanza is again, taking the perspective of a person who lacks sexual desire. How people who feel that way often feel broken and are very very cautious when it comes to love because of how the media has jaded many people into thinking that sex is the 'most imporant' or 'highest' expression of love. The last stanza expresses a desire to both want and be wanted for who the person really is and not just looks or physical pleasure. "Sex seems overrated" has a different meaning once you know the perspective this is written from. Though I know that's too much for most people to get from a short poem, so I wanted people to take from it that I believe society should put less emphasis on physical love and more on emotional love (after all, the divorce rate in america is astounding).

Your comment is very much appreciated. It's always nice to see how my poetry reads through another person's eyes. (and yes, i did mean "your soul". I will fix that.)
