True Love
True Love doesn't begin with me
Though I often wish it did
But no, it doesn't begin with me at all.
True Love begins with you, not with me
I don't mean to say you must love yourself
In fact that's not what you need at all
True Love begins with you
It begins when you love someone else first
Of course, it doesn't have to be someone
True Love can start with your dog
Or it could begin with our favorite song
For as long as you love something first
True Love will surely come around
It doesn't wait for you to love yourself
It doesn't wait for you to find the one
True Love can be as pure as your mother making you pancakes in the morning
True Love can be you telling your friend to get home safe
True Love can be a passionate romance between you and your favorite book
True Love doesn't start with me but it does start with you.
