Love Isn’t Born from Loneliness
Too often, people assume that love is just a way to fill emptiness, a response to solitude. But true love isn’t born from loneliness—it’s a choice, a connection, a deep appreciation of another soul.
This poem, I Don’t Love You Because I Was Lonely, is a reminder that real love isn’t about escaping solitude—it’s about finding someone you choose even when you’re whole.
I Don’t Love You Because I Was Lonely
I didn’t love you because I was lost,
Or because silence filled the empty spaces.
I didn’t need you to quiet the echoes,
To make my nights feel less hollow.I loved you because the world felt lighter,
Because laughter lingered longer in the air.
Because even in solitude,
I still would have chosen you.Not as an escape,
Not as a cure for my loneliness—
But as something real,
As someone I’d choose in any lifetime.
Love Should Be a Choice, Not a Need
Real love isn’t about filling a void—it’s about choosing someone even when you’re whole. I Don’t Love You Because I Was Lonely reminds us that the deepest connections come from wanting someone, not needing them.
