My Own Standards

I stopped looking for love

Love may never find me if it hasn’t stopped looking yet

My standards grew far too high

My heart got chipped too much

It hasn’t completely shattered yet

Which is good

But reading where someone waited for 800 years for their lover

Watching someone built a moving castle to find their lover

Reading someone recognize the spirit of their soulmate after 16 years

They say people are attracted to symmetrical faces

I have a line that doesn’t make my face symmetrical

Although I have great traits

Seeing my mother go through people telling me “They are the one”

I hear it every time

I thought I found the one I love and didn’t just like 

No

It was just a silly dream

I am still young, don’t I have time?

Focus on your dream

Focus on dance and not love

But where can I find that love?

In yourself
