The Love I Never Had

The love I never had was a love I searched for,
Longed for,
But could never seem to find.

The love I never had was a love that I tried to find in
     so many others—
But time and time again,
No one could hold or fulfill this need.

The love I never had proved to be the love I thought
     I never had—
Because it couldn't be found anywhere else or inside of
     another being.
This love could only be found inside of me.

For the love I thought I never had was a love
    I always had within me.
