I sit here waiting while life passes by I keep hoping someone will see me for me I don't want to be another notch on a bedpost I don't want to be another face in a crowd Trapped in a memory of lost paradises Searching for something that I can't find
Tell me are you ready? Ok let's go We'll search the cave where lost loves dwell Look there I am alone in the shadows Longing for truth but finding lies How can I expect another to love me When I can't seem to even love myself?

Oh Danielle,
I know so well what you're taking about. But I guess it is so important that we start with loving ourselves first. Only once we do, we gain self-esteem and can project this onto others.
Head up girl.

Danielle, this is an extremely important reminder to always remain true to oneself before one should venture out to find love! Great write! Thanks for sharing it. Take good care and be well.
Sometimes... to truly know and love yourself, you must allow others to love you; but never accept false prophets! ALWAYS search for the "real thing," the "true love," the "soul mate." Life is way too short to be a pawn in someone else's game. -- Jeff
