Why Love?

Everyone thinks they have to find the person
The right guy or girl to share their love
Share their interests
Right
Right now
Why
Why Now
Why ever
Sure it’d be nice
To find perfection in that of the opposite sex
I’m sorry let me rephrase
To find perfection in another person
Doesnt have to be gender specific
Love isnt really
Or how I believe Love is
Love Loves all
If not it wouldnt be love would it
But to find that in another person
A soul mate perhaps
That would be nice
But whats with the epidemic
Of HAVING to find this at all
Perhaps some people are better off alone
Perhaps some people enjoy the game
And not the commitment
If you know what I mean
I find it tiresome
That in this age and day
This society is swaying me
Pushing me to make this decision
To find what and who that person is
NOW
To imply
That being with someone anyone even if you dont love them at all
IS THE WAY TO BE
But I dont mind being alone
Yes I have fun sometimes
Yes I sometimes I believe the boy who kisses me deeply
Is sometimes the one I want to be with…
Not necessarily the ONE
Jesus theres so many names for it isnt there?
Its rather maddening to always have this in the back of your mind
Dont you find?
Or at least frolicking in front of your eyes
Everywhere I go
With My friends
At my School
In my Town
Everywhere I go
Society is screaming at me
GO GO FIND YOUR TRUE LOVE
Hah theyve even commercialized and advertised
The way to find true love
Online dating Speed dating Psychics
Hey lets get everyone together
AND LETS MAKE IT QUICK!
Now I dont condemn the idea
I find love exhilarating and wondrous to feel
In the least
But to make me feel
That if I never find love I shall never truly be happy?
Now that irks me beyond anything
I as a person as an individual as me
Do NOT need someone else to rely upon
To make me happy
When I can do what I need to
To make myself content
I AM
Content with my life
With the things Ive accomplished
And I CAN
Share those things
With my friends and my family
I DO not
Need a man or woman or soul mate or one
To justify my feelings of pleasure
To substantiate as to why and how happy I can be
I myself am happy
With who I am How Ive Grown, and what Ive become
I could stay happy for life because of that
And would not need someone to share it with
If I could share it with myself
Sounds absurd?
Perhaps
But in the face of civilization today
The way we live
The way society sways
I can proudly raise my head and say
I Do Not Feel OBLIGATED to find in someone else
ALL THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS
I can find in myself
That is why
I ask why
And turn these tables of ordinary desire
For solitary bliss
Fore I can love myself
