no one will love you
no one will be able to love you, nor will they know how to love you
unless you, first, can accept all love for yourself
selfish you, silly and selfish, you
caring for everyone but yourself
foolish.
it is okay to be greedy, to be needy for love
it is okay to need to be needed, but no one will need you
if you don't think you are worth needing
or loving
so stare at those big beautiful eyes
curve those lips into a grin
whip your hair and paint your nails
because you are worthy of love
and I will love you, if you do.
