Love Poem: Preferential Love

Preferential Love

He uttered the words, “I love you”
She felt desirable 
The signs that he really loved her,
Were practically non existent

That prompted her to take a step back,
To walk away, looking back were not an option
Realizing that loving someone starts at home
Every day she loved herself more 
Admitting that love for yourself
Was never a choice, 
It’s a necessity to walk this road…
