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
