Healing from “ the one”
What does it really mean to be “the one” anyways?
Is it love at first sight?
How about love at first touch?
Everything you did was perfect,
I thought you were perfect.
Were you perfect enough?
I never thought about what it meant to be “the one”
I tried to make the glove fit for so long,
That it tore at its seams.
Maybe it was clear to everyone around us
That you weren’t “the one”,
But what does it mean to be “the one” anyways?
I never wanted us to hurt
I never wanted to do this without you
But I’m worried I might have to.
Is “the one” supposed to fix all my issues?
Are they supposed to put me back together?
You did, but something was chipping away at my insides
I was too afraid to say.
Like a sinking ship, we stayed on the dock for far too long
But you showed me the sky on that ship,
One I hadn’t seen before.
One of beautiful purple and starking blues,
One that soothed me but simultaneously lit a fire in my soul.
Thank you.
You lit a fire in my soul
Do you know that?
My insides burn with passion
Yearn for you,
But are you really “the one”?
I can see now that love is about selflessness
Love is about growth and wisdom
Love is about a friendship
Love is not only about trying to find “the one”,
But it is to find that beautiful someone.
to feel is everything I needed.
