Untitled

by samwarde

there was a time i thought love meant becoming becoming enough becoming wanted becoming the version of myself someone would choose so i searched for happiness in other people's eyes i called it romance but happiness borrowed from another person is a fragile thing it leaves when they leave the real love story began later when I sat alone with all the parts of myself i used to abandon and learned that home was never a person it was me

Notes

You cannot love someone properly when you're asking them to be the source of your happiness. Love begins when you discover that source within yourself.
