Self love= our love

Location

India

I just want to hold your hand sometimes when you’re yelling 

Tell you I’m sorry 

For being unbecoming 

Tell you we could forget about what we said and walk away

But I love you too much so I’ll run instead 

We need to grow before we plant seeds and root our way to our dreams 

Maybe when we start being adults and doing grown things our relationship will bloom into something they can’t unsee

 

We could be #goals 

Let them forget out #hurtbae 

And call us the new lovers new age and we can only be healthy if we love ourselves first

Even if we put each other first

Just know I loved you first

 

I could take a few weeks, a few weeks and maybe even a few years

Before we understand seeing eye to eye is more like listening ear to ear

Take in each other’s plans, each other’s truths, and even our vices 

The worst advice 

I ever heard was 

The heart is deceitful above all things

But what’s a heart when you fill that space 

You took its place 

Our rhythms flow at the same place 

 

This isn’t a break up piece

More like suggestions for improvement 

Because I love you so much I want to tell you that the truth is 

You need to become a flower on your own before our vines intertwine 

I need you in my life

 we need to understand ourselves first

We can be

But this just isn’t the right time
