Just One is All You Need 2


All you have to find is that one person to love you.  Not thousands, just one.  One who thrills at the thought of you, desires the uniqueness of you, spends precious time with you, lights up at the sight of you, follows the scent of you, and lingers to bond with you. 


Just one love is all you need.


One seems so hard to find when really he/she is only a step away, around the next corner, heading towards you , often within view if not yet in sight.  


Just one person is all you need.


Not unlike a needle in a haystack but actually poised to be found.  Sometimes they are the click of a mouse away.


That special one might sit next to you on your next plane trip or stand across from you on the T or push a cart around the grocery store on the same aisle or is your best friend’s cousin that you’ll meet one day soon but haven’t met yet.


All you need is one.


Just one and you’re done!

Now, the above is pretty complete but then I thought about my oh-so-many women friends (and a couple of men) who are oh-so-tired-of being alone, which made me think up this ditty, which I decided to throw in this blog post for good measure.


Ditty for my tired-of-being-single friends

All straight


Couldn’t get a date


 


Got dates


Couldn’t get mates.


 


Stuck in a rut


Getting fed up.


 


Married one


Bond came undone.


 


Live and look


Until you get took.


 


Just one is all


Get ready to fall.
