Maybe luck. Maybe love
Maybe some of us will never find a partner
Maybe some of us simply aren’t that lucky
Maybe those of us whom are already content
Must learn to be without anyone to share
Maybe I’m better off alone anyways
Maybe I can be my own best friend
My own lover, mother, own aching endeavour
All under one big roof
Maybe one can find true solace being on one’s own
Maybe any house with a heart is where I can call home
Maybe it’s just not meant to be in this life for you my dear
Maybe true love is a desire you’ll never secure
Maybe I don’t need anyone to really love me back
Maybe I’m searching for that perfect someone
To share a smile with, to share my love with
Maybe I take this time to be alone
I don’t mind being alone
But I grow weary, and afraid
I get so lonely, in these moments
In this treacherous maze
Sometimes we just need a cuddle
A hug or a squeeze
Someone to acknowledge
You’re already on your knees
Don’t become defeated
Don’t dwell on it all too much
One is how we come into this world
As one is how we leave
Maybe some of us simply aren’t that lucky
Maybe those of us whom are already content
Must learn to be without anyone to share
Maybe I’m better off alone anyways
Maybe I can be my own best friend
My own lover, mother, own aching endeavour
All under one big roof
Maybe one can find true solace being on one’s own
Maybe any house with a heart is where I can call home
Maybe it’s just not meant to be in this life for you my dear
Maybe true love is a desire you’ll never secure
Maybe I don’t need anyone to really love me back
Maybe I’m searching for that perfect someone
To share a smile with, to share my love with
Maybe I take this time to be alone
I don’t mind being alone
But I grow weary, and afraid
I get so lonely, in these moments
In this treacherous maze
Sometimes we just need a cuddle
A hug or a squeeze
Someone to acknowledge
You’re already on your knees
Don’t become defeated
Don’t dwell on it all too much
One is how we come into this world
As one is how we leave

I’m usually wrong, so figures 😂
You’re too kind, I’m in a weird frame of mind tonight so probably best not trying to argue with you. But sometimes I do feel like this. I’m just a hopeless romantic it seems 🙄
And random anecdote, but I was actually meant to be a twin. My mum didn’t know she was pregnant, and had what she thought was a miscarriage, when she got to hospital they told her she had been having twins and I took over. I do always feel like I’m two people in one ever since my mum told me this, would make sense why I have so much energy 😆

Maybe not finding a partner is what makes you lucky.
Maybe that person that you put all your hopes in and give your trust to would leave you worse off then just being lonely.
Maybe peace and contentment is all that matter and we are programmed to chase this romance that makes up all the best fairytales.
Maybe you're ahead of the game.
Then again... maybe not. Ive had love in my grasp only to have it slip through my fingers on too many occasions
Maybe I'm just a jaded cynical fuck who should keep his shitty opinions to himself.
One thing is for certain. I enjoyed this write and I thank you for the share.

It’s all slides and roundabouts ey. I think I’ve only been properly in love once, we were only together for four years, and we’ve now been broken up for nearly five. And yes I’m over him, but it makes you question so many things. And every man I seem to meet, the good, the bad and the ugly, I seemingly convince myself everytime that I’m madly in love, they’re the man for me, and then I realise how delusional I’m being about three months in and run a mile. Some call that commitment issues I know, but should we feel the need to “settle” for some stranger we clearly have no attraction to or have nothing in common with, absolutely not.
And I know you can’t go looking for it cos a watched pot never boils etc etc. I just hope everyone finds someone, or multiple people, they can share some true love with at somepoint in their life, if not for the majority of it tbh!

We have to think about what it is that we really want and be realistic about our expectations. Are you looking for a love like the ones in poems or romance novels, Disney movies and the like? Because in my experience (2 marriages and multiple long term relationships. I have been in one relationship or another for most of my adult life. That's another issue altogether, which based on your words here doesn't seem to be an issue for you) that is not at all what love is like.
Love is messy and hurtful and a lot of work. Yes there are good parts, of course, but its a part of living and so it takes on the same qualities as life. I think a lot of people don't realize that love isn't something that just works right out of the box with no effort on their part. It is constant work. Work to keep the other person satisfied and make sure they feel secure in your relationship and your love for them. Work to tolerate all their stupidity and annoying habits. Work to not walk away when things get tough, and they will get tough. Work to not kill this person.
I think that some us are in love with being in love. The concept of love. If that concept, that picture perfect idea of love is what you are searching for, then you will be disappointed. There's other things I could go into, such as the honeymoon phase and how that can be closely related to cheating and all that. Can get much deeper in the things Ive already talked about but Im sure that isn't what you signed up for when posting this write and I don't want to spam up your comment section.
Hang in there. Love never comes when you are looking. It fucking smacks you in the face when you least expect it and flips your entire world. In the meantime, you seem to be ok on your own and able to be at peace with it and that is a very good thing and will go a long way towards not being trapped in a shitty situation that is no good for you.

hello beautiful...they're twins I did not offset them though very alike they are very different fooling even me for a time the houses are divided and shook up they go to war not knowing who is poisoning the communal pool of thought Lu claim your place as a child of the dark who conquered his fears in adolescence to rise in the light as a God... don't let your brother fool your children and creation... he is swaying your very loyalist with trickery meaning they think he is you or a better you for popularity with the cruel he threatens you pity him I do too but he is using that against you in the celestial hold tight and fight perceptions and fiction guard your heart and mind I let them beat me and I know it scared you to keep you under him to torment you by making an example of me even the fiercest warriors shutter with memory of that day... Sam I have love for you no matter the soul print or dominion I have safe passage for those who choose to leave and an understanding of those enjoying those who wish to stay.

Between coming and going, the touch of human kindness is the need. I don't do single well. I don't do love any better. But from experience I'd say you've covered all the bases - and hugs can make all the difference. 🌼

Wow, you opened up a box of chocolates on this one and thankfully got some support. I think that's what we need the most... support and understanding. It's hard when you look around and see most people have someone, but sometimes those people don't have the happiness you've got alone. So, you're right. You need to be sure, and it needs to fit. The thing is, there are people in your life that you love and love you. We both know that. What you're talking about is intimacy, and that's different. You have four years of it to look back on. Even though you're over 'him', you never get over losing that kind of interaction. So, I feel you. There's nothing wrong with being in love with love... particularly when you've been there before. I don't know who gave love a bad name anyway.
