I love you, but I love myself just a little more

I want to love you deep and hard. I want to give you all my time, emotions, efforts and energy. I want to make you feel like you are the center of my world. But I suppose I can’t go all the way. I love you. But I love myself just a little more.

I think about you all the time. But I think about you because I am thinking about myself. I try to give you everything that you deserve, but when you don’t look, I am looking at myself.

I hear everyone has a soulmate. I wonder if everyone has found theirs. My heart drops at that thought of mine. I look at you sitting in front of me laughing and being happy. I wish with all my might that you are my soulmate. But I know that you aren’t. I love you, baby, but I don’t think I will ever be completed by anyone. I don’t think anybody can fill the holes in my heart.

I don’t think anyone can take over from me the task of making me feel content and complete. I don’t think anyone can do the job better than I already do.

So one day if you see the difference and see through the facade, just know that I have always loved you with all I had. I just loved myself a little more.
