Love Yourself First

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

They always say you should 

love yourself first

before entering 

into a relationship.

 

Well both of us sure didn't

and because of that

we have struggled.

 

I'm just wonderful at 

making you feel inadequate,

and I always feel like 

I'm not good enough for you.

 

We have hit those lows 

with intense momentum

but somehow bounced back.

 

At the end of those dark days,

I know I only have a heart for you,

and we can work through 

our shortcomings. 

 

With openness and vulnerability,

we can overcome any obstacles

and come out the other side. 

 

I don't expect our insecurities

to vanish into thin air,

but I know we can get there 

inch by inch.
