I never trusted myself enough
“stop seeking and you shall find”
and I was holding onto a hope
that was never certain –
hope that one day I’d be enough
every person I met,
“They might be the one”
of if it felt wrong within me
those words you spoke,
“you have to let love in to feel love”
I stopped searching
I stopped looking
I started living
It stopped being
“oh, maybe it’s you?”
I didn’t wait around
and the people I’ve met
I fell in love with,
connections; life long
not the forever kind of love
but beautiful people
kind souls
gentle
