Searching

For so long, I had hoped to find someone…

Someone to lean on,

Someone to talk to,

Someone to love…

For so long I thought that would be the answer, to get out of these storms, out of the depths of this open water.

Finally I learned…

It was never going to be someone…

It was never going to be a person…

It was just always going to be me…

For so long I had felt lost…

For so long, I thought I needed to be found…

Finally, I found myself.

Yet, I still linger, in this deep ocean, but no longer searching.

No longer lost.

No longer waiting fo someone to rescue me.

No longer waiting for someone to love me or to laugh with me.

I can laugh with myself.

I can love myself.

I am found.

I found me.
