I deserve to be with someone that truly loves me
Someone that understands me
Someone that is patient with me when I falter
And loving with me
Regardless of mood or situation
I deserve to be adored
And appreciated
For who I am
And also in spite of who I can be
I deserve to be truly, deeply, unconditionally loved
We all deserve this
And yet we live in a world
Of conditions and stipulations
Of tit for tat
Of judgement and hatred
Of neglect and burying our head in the sand
Of only seeing and believing what we want to
What is convenient
For oneself
I want something that maybe this world isn’t capable of giving me
Maybe?
But being the hopeless romantic optimist I am
What can I do but harbor the hope
That it does exist (for me)
Maybe
