LOVE YOURSELF

 

A love I always dreamed of,

Seemed so far out of reach,

Until I saw it in someone else,

And felt my heart finally breach.

Why God do I deserve this,

To only admire from afar,

To watch someone else enjoy it,

While I sit and bear the scars.

Am I not worthy of love,

Is my heart too broken to mend,

Or am I just not meant to find,

A love that will never end.

I long for a love that's true,

A love that will cherish and adore,

But it seems like a distant wish,

One that I'll never explore.

In the silence of my tears,

I ask the heavens above,

Why does the love I always wanted,

Be found in someone else's love.

But deep down in my heart,

I know the answer lies,

In learning to love myself,

And seeing my own beauty in disguise.

For when I find that love within,

And embrace it with open arms,

I know that's when I'll be ready,

To receive a love that's full of charms.

So I'll wait and I'll keep hoping,

For a love that's meant for me,

And in the darkness of my doubts,

I'll find the light to set me free.

For someday, the love I always wanted,

Will finally come my way,

And I'll thank God for this journey,

For it has led me to a love that will forever stay.
