Not really a poem

To love someone truly you need to love yourself first, so i'm working on the first so i can have the next. anything that has stood the test of time was not built in a day, so patience is a must. been close so many times, i could taste it. then someone always spouts "everything happens for a reason". when you had it all, its a long way to fall and the climb back to the top doesnt happen overnight and changes take time, unless youre faking it. dont point out the things ive done wrong or the mistakes ive made, i know them better than you do and i have to live with them everyday. i'd like to believe that love exists and that there is someone meant for everyone. im torn between the question does love really truly exist or is it just that it does but it is just that hard to find. do you need love? can you survive without it? i know the things about a relationship that make me happy, or used too, but ive been there and i dont get the same feelings. does that mean im wrecked and incapable or just that i havent found the right person. depends on who you ask i guess. friends say its that i havent met the right person, girls say its me because they are the right person. i dont know but i hope everyday im closer to the answer. just something i was thinking about, thought id write it down sometimes it helps when you have something to say but dont really want to talk to anyone.
