Stopped Crying

I stopped crying over my first love
After he honestly told me he is not ready.
I stopped crying over my second love
After he truly ceased being steady.

I am no longer crying for their love
After they began making me feel unsteady.
I am no longer crying about not having love
After they taught me how they rather it be.

I refuse to cry ever again about love
As I am slowly learning to instead love me.
I refuse to cry ever again, even if I find a new love,
As I am realizing how I much rather it be.

I stopped crying to those whom I may always love
After accepting they cannot give their all to me.
I stopped crying, so I may embrace a new love
After learning what love isn't supposed to be.
