Sometimes I wish I could find love, A love I could fight for, One I'd die for, Not a mother's love but the love of a man... I keep having those dreams of the perfect love stores and romance. But love itself feels like a fantasy.... I understand love and I know what love is , Which is why I know am not to young to be inlove .... Then again why do I believe that won't happen.. I want to miss someone, I want to Wonder about someone, I want to belong to someone, I want someone to be my world.. I wonder where that someone is... And I wonder what his doing.... I want to go on dates . Not with different guys but with the same guy all the time... Someone I can simply be myself with.. To hold me and hug me and make me feel safe by simply being there... A want a gentleman...who would love and appreciate me ... Is that so hard to find?

Nice poem. Well, love is unpredictable. It can happen at the most unexpected time. You are lucky if you find someone who is so perfect. But I believe we have our own flaws. As much as we want to have a perfect relationship, there will be a time that our love will be tested. If we succeed with that and accept the flaws of our partner, then I can tell that we found a perfect partner and a perfect relationship.

I just want to be loved unconditionally ... Even through the fights and the pain down the lines... I just need to know the love is still there... A love id fight for... Someone who makes me want to be a better person . Maybe in my head i want a fantasy but funny thing is ...i dont want to admit that it might not be pissible... Scared to admit i might really and trully not find it... Scared that i grow old and am still single... Scared that he comes around and i let him past me by. Scared if his already in my past

I think that we cannot find love out there somewhere unless we can find it inside of our self first. When we love our self, the eminence of this love goes out, and attracts a corresponding love back to us then; this is what a soul mate is. We cannot find love by searching for it only to try to fill a void within our self. At least, this was why it was so hard for me to find love. I have never loved myself first, and I wanted to try to find love out there somewhere to make myself whole from outside of me, rather than from inside of me. This approach never works, at least it has never worked for me.

@Merliva Thanks for your responding so honestly, and openly to me. The only one that I have really loved is my mother, as you have loved your father. The problem is that I compare all other loves to this love for my mother, and nobody seems to be able to match it, as it is such a big ask, for anyone to have to do. Unconditional love, linked to trust, and compassionate warmth, is hard to match up with, in anyone else. So, again, perhaps the only one that I have ever truly loved is my Mum. I trust no-one else enough to truly love, not even myself, do I trust. While it is true that trust is a big part of love, love without trust can still exist, therefore we need to love first, and risk the trust, to not to be in place, as it is always better to have loved, than not to have loved at all, as someone once said. (It's so hard to do, though) "Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Alfred Lord Tennyson, (1809 to 1892) a British poet, said this.

@innertalks you made me feel safe opening up to u...i was comfortable..it felt easy so it really and truly alright..i felt relieved letting it out. My mother is the one getting all my love right now and i love the smile it puts on the beautiful face of hers..so loving your mother is one of the greastest things u are doing. I do this also but its time realize a mother's or father's love cant be replaced by anyone and if it can be .i can bet u its not easy. I find it hard to trust anyone for that matter...i always beleve everyoes lying. Thank so much for your advice

I wouldn't dare say that i didn't agree because i certainly do. But i find it difficult to worry less and enjoy life, when deep down all i am is lonely and all i feel is depressed. I think very highly of you based on your statement. You sound like someone who has experience in this feild, But if only you knew how hard this is for me. I feel desperate for love and maybe its why i attract the wrong kind of men. My father passed away before i was of age. Ever since ive been entering relationship ...in hope i find someone to love me like he did. To be honest i have never admitted this out loud. But am scared to forget him..each day i feel our memories are fading and i find it harder to remember those moments we had together. I miss waking up and finding my dad in the kitchen right before my eyes. The way he laughed,they way he cared. This is why i search so much and realized i got so focus on finding someone that i lost sight of who i am. I'll be with a guy and even if i know his wrong and the signs are right before my eyes.i stil risk it.. You mentioned above it was why it was so hard for u to find love? Have you found it? Ive tried loving myself..but if i loved myself today..then the next day i dont. But thats not love ..but its all ive got I always find myself so disturbing to look at .. I really don't see that girl everyone says is beautiful..i believe they say those words to make me smile and so they can laugh at me afterwards ... Ive been so focused on thinking the worse of myself that i dont see the good anymore. All my years of schooling ive been bullied and losing my dad...in the process only made it worse.
