Whole Before Love
You were never a fragment,
never a half-written story
waiting for someone else’s pen.
You were a masterpiece long before
anyone whispered love into your ears.
They told you love would complete you,
that arms around your waist
would bind the broken pieces,
that another’s heartbeat
would fill the silence in your chest.
But love was never meant to fix you.
It was never meant to patch the spaces
you were afraid to sit with alone.
Love is not the missing puzzle piece,
it is the light that shines upon you,
showing you the beauty
that was already there.
So when love comes, let it find you whole.
Let it be an addition, not salvation.
Let it walk beside you, not carry you.
For the truest love is not found in completion—
but in the freedom of two souls,
whole on their own,
choosing to stand together.
