In the Now

I've learned many lessons in this life The most important is that if we truly love someone, we must love ourself first By loving ourself, we grow and we learn We won't wait for them if we love someone To wait is to imply a halt, a standstill I can't just sit on the sidelines while you are the only one moving forward Therefore my love, if one day we cross paths again It will be as two evolved people who have been living our lives, learning the necessary lessons and staying open to the possibilities that our journey brings us, I will not wait for you, but I will not attempt to replace you either By enjoying my life as is, by being happy with who I am and what I have\ Yet, I won't be closed to opportunities too as I don't know what the Universe has in store for me If a man steps into the open room in my heart, who makes me forget all about you, Then it was meant to be.
