finding love

To the ones,
Laying awake at night,
Wondering if you’ll ever find someone.
Scrolling through Instagram,
Looking through the window of life,
And it seems like the
Whole world is finding love,
You’re happy for them.

But there’s a whisper,
A doubt,
A tiny prick to the heart
“Will I ever be as happy as them?”
Some of us have already been in love,
And lost it.
Wrong place,
Or wrong time
Or wrong person?
Only scars to show for it.
We’ve just started loving ourselves again,
It’s all too much,
too soon.

Maybe we don’t belong here,
Swipe our way through love?
Maybe some of us aren’t meant for it,
The permanence of love
Eludes us.

And we go to bed,
Another night alone.
Maybe there’s someone out there,
To put your doubts to rest,
Or maybe not.
But you’ll be fine,
My dear brave hearts.
