The person I have to marry before anyone else -
is myself
"To love and to hold"
"In sickness and in health"
'Til death do us part"
All of these are concepts that come short
If we do not learn to love ourselves completely

We cannot give what we do not have
We only yearn to have what we cannot give
We always fail to realize that the love
We've been looking for was right there all along
Inside us
Waiting for the oath it needed to hear long ago —

"Today, I forgive myself
Today, I trust myself
Today, I accept myself no matter what
And I'll never ever leave myself alone,
'Til my very last breath.

This, my solemn vow."

I'm learning to love myself better than ever
And though I fall, I shall try all over again
And remind myself as much as I have to
Until it becomes real.

Love is really a journey you take with yourself -
You just need to be brave enough to see it.
