Does True Love Exist?

Does true love only exist in our dreams?
I do not know.
I hoped for
true love
once.

Then
life came
back to me.
I realized
I did not need true love to be happy.

The love of my family was as true
as I needed.
Me nieces,
mom, and
dad.

They
are all
I needed.
To be happy
So yes, true love only exists in dreams
