True love is everywhere. If only you are able to know how you'll place your look and where, so as to reach it. Beyond all, true love lays within us.

The problem is, we cannot easily dig enough so as to find. We can't easily approach it, because we have a delay problem loving our own selves. No one can give true love to anyone if he denies loving fair enough his own self first.

How can I love you, if I don't love me, therefore if I don't even know how I need to be loved?
My love for you should be unconditional, should be real. And how can I make it real for you , If I can't make it for me either?

Loving you is like having you here, always, within me, as my deep inner voice that makes me want to be a better person. Loving you is like loving my better self, the one that you expose to me with comfort.

If I 'm saying that I love you because I need to be loved from you, then I 'm lying. The truth is, I need to love myself more, through you.

I don't love you, so that's why I m lying on your neck, grabbing the every breath you take out so as I can succeed mines too. I love you because I want to share your breaths with mine, uniting them in a big everlasting one.

True love is hard to find, for the ones that are having a hard time finding themselves in the crowd. True love is hard to find, for the ones that prefer lying to themselves, trying to get away from their inner "mirror". True love is hard to find, only for the ones that never dared to give their own definition about it.
True love is here, while you and I are looking to each other, smiling, out of nowhere.

Love is simple. It can be found more in the smallest details of life.

Life is simple too. We don't need to complicate it trying to rule over it.

If you can hear yourself whispering when silent, then you know you are ready to love.

When you know you have named your fears, when you know you have learnt to make them friends.

When you know you stopped fighting against your demons, and you changed to be at the same side with them.

It will be then, when true love is going to rescue you.

Once more you will confirm that is ok being yourself, and through your real self, is ok to love any other just the way he is.

Love is not calling you, neither is searching for you. It's simply right next to you, like since always.

Can't you see it still? Turn on the other way around friend.

What are you waiting for?
