There was once a time when I would have given anything to have love

To be part of a couple, the half to my destined whole being everything I needed

But how can one put a price on something so vast?

How can one asked one person to be so much?

Then with age and life lessons, I realized that the love I wanted had to start with me

And that I’m not broken, waiting to be put back together

I’m just a traveler in this life gathering collections to make into my life’s work

Be that love, recognition, wealth, contentment, or adventure

I realized that some things were never meant to be gained

And that other things were never meant to be kept forever

That everything has its time

And that while some things in this life are truly costless

There are even better things that are priceless.
