Love

1

i never knew true love. i wanted to experience it tho. growing up my parents never really loved each other. they were content with each other. it grew obvious day after day. anniversary after anniversary.
it became my promise to myself. i told myself i would find true love eventually. i didn't want to be content with somebody. i dated many times but none of my partners never knew what true love was. some thought it was the obsession with another. others believed it was a want for another but again who's to say that obsession with another will die. true love you never stop loving that person. you wake up and there they are. i spent more years trying to find my true love. i thought i had. they enlightened a fire within me i had never experienced. a fire that neither of my parents had. for once in my life i didn't feel content. i felt what i defined as true love. i thought what we had was true love, until slowly i became content. i became the one thing i promised myself i wouldn't. it wasn't until i finally began to pass i realized i was looking in all the wrong places. i was so obsessed with love from someone else i became content with myself. i never took a moment to look at myself. i never loved myself. i realized that's why i became content with the person i believed was my true love. that's why in the end we became my parents.
