Would You Change Yourself For Love By Everett Elm

Before I fell in love, I knew who I was. I knew that I was headstrong and loved. I was far from wishful and I was determined in everything that I did. I was able to define myself and know who I was. I knew that love was powerful and it meant a lot to me. I knew that one day, someone would fall in love with me and I with them. I knew we would have a fairytale where we were both perfect and had everything we needed to make eachother happy. We had eachother. That would be enough.

After I fell in love, I lost myself, but to me it did not matter. I was now weak and wishful. I was dependent on someone who did not appreciate me for who I was. Therefore, I altered all of the pieces of me he did not like. I did this for love, because I fell in love with him and I did not want to lose him. One part of me regrets my decision. I think back to the girl who believed that soulmates were real, and she would meet one at the perfect time and fall in love with them until she parted from this earthly city. The other part of me is satisfied with my decision. I have grown to feel that I will never be loved by anyone, not even myself, so if I could change to believe I was loved and worthy by that one man that it would feel like enough. I hope it is enough.
