My Grandma told me a long time ago
The only person you can count on is you
I never wanted to believe her
I never wanted it to be true.
Every year brings more epiphanies
More growth, some from harsh truths
As I struggle to soak it all in and learn
I long for the optimism of youth
The blissful ignorance
Of years yet to come
When love was an eternal pool
My imagination pulled from
It is not yet my time
To know all the reasons why
I’m not ready to settle down
My spirit is still on the fly
The possibilities are still endless
But one truth is now known
I cannot place my happiness on another’s shoulders
I alone make my house a home
This epiphany I have found
Though I still hope and pray
To find another solution
By the next Valentines Day.
