“Love is a strong feeling,
It either gives you strength
Or breaks you in pieces
Leaving you with
A long time for healing
Ahead as you’re leaving.
Love takes you from
Alone to two equal one –
No longer on your own,
You learn to trust
And he becomes home.
Little girl, remember to love
Yourself on your own
For you never know
When trust might be broken
And promises forgotten.”
Ana.
P.S.: A story I was told today got me thinking and inspired this poem. Not every relationship is meant to last, so we must remember to love and trust ourselves first. The right person will come along eventually and since they might take too long to arrive, let’s love ourselves while we wait for them to stumble across our path or trade their white horse for some faster way of travelling.
