It has been a year
Since I was in a relationship
Where in I get to feel what you feel
When you are in one
A year has passed
Since I tried this thing called "dating"
Where it is nothing like
Being in a serious relationship
I tried and tried to be that person
Who is into dating but I realized
I am not, I am not that person
I always long for something permanent
Something that is serious
Where in you know what is bound to happen
Where in you feel settled inside of you
That this person is here to stay
However, a year has gone by
Yet, all of the people I have met or most of them
Would only long for other things
Either they are not ready or just not into it
This gave me the thought
That I was not lovable
That I was not enough
That I was not worth it
I guess you can say
That a year has gone by
That I have been shot down a couple of times
Getting my heart broken over and over
But I told myself to stop looking
And let love find me instead
Because that is how love should happen
It should surprise you when you least expect
So, here is to another year
Hoping not full with heart breaks
But heart mending
And bountiful joy, instead.
