Self-Love

I remember that day my heart got broken,

Something inside me slowly got stolen,

I kept asking, “Why me?” again and again,

But only silence answered my pain.

I was begging for love like a lost man,

Doing everything, more than I can,

Still she never came to hold my hand,

I stood alone, and could not understand.

I almost lost my mind in that fight,

Dreaming of her love every single night,

I gave my all, with nothing to hide,

But still didn't choose me by her side.

That day I made a promise to me,

To love myself and finally be free,

No more running behind someone's heart,

No more breaking myself apart.

I was always real, always true,

My intentions were pure, through and through,

I pored so much, till I felt so dry,

Smiling outside, but inside I cry.

Now I know, I also deserve love,

From my own heart, that's more than enough,

No more begging, no more pain to prove,

I'll love myself... and move slowly.
