What if Love Isn't the Answer?

We're taught from the start

That we must find "The One."

The one who will

Complete us

Stand by us

Satisfy us.

The one who will love us in return forever.

We hear it in

Songs

Books

Movies

We hear it from

Family

Friends

Poets

What if it's all wrong?

What if there isn't "The One?"

Love may be the answer,

But maybe love yourself first.

Complete yourself

Stand by yourself

Be satisfied with yourself.

Spread love,

But don't get stressed looking for it.

"The One" may find you.

If not, go on loving you.
