Of love and solitude

See, I have yet to meet

someone who I can love

more than myself...

I've been alone for so long

that the notion of

someone beside me seems

so foreign.

I figured that if no one

would bother with me,

I would just love me

as I am.

So, I do not need someone

to shower me with affections,

And I can give myself

whatever I want,

I am used to being by myself

that I have resigned to a life

of solitude.

I can be my own lover and

I can be a home to myself.

But you see,

Not needing someone

doesn't mean I do not

want someone.

I can take care of the needs,

It's the wants that keep me hoping...

See, I have yet to meet

someone who can love

me more than myself can...
