The Day Will Come
“Will I ever find someone who loves me, all of me?”
I asked.
“You will.”
she responded.
“But, when? I’m so tired of waiting.”
“The day will come, you just have to look harder.”
I’m confused, “What am I looking for?“
“Not ‘for’, but at. Not ‘what’, but who.”
she hummed.
“Who am I looking at?”
“Yes”
I’ve been standing in front of my mirror, “I’m looking at myself.”
“Do you love yourself, all of you?”
“No, never have, don’t think I ever will.”
“You will”
“Huh?”
“The day will come, you just have to look harder.“
I smile.

I think I like this one best, this far. Do you need the last line?
I love this play on the “mirror mirror on the wall…” fairy tale.
