Post No. 173: For Valentine's Day 2014 — "You Are The One That You Want!"

You Are The One That You Want!
(Or, "Become Your One, True Love")

Contrary to popular views,
I truly believe that you—and
every other soul out there—are
not, in fact, meant to "Find Your
One, True Love." I truly feel that you
—and every other soul out there—are
meant to "Become Your One, True Love!"

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"

My Writing About Becoming Your One, True Love: Contrary to popular views, I truly believe that you—and every other soul out there—are not, in fact, meant to "find your one, true love." I truly feel that you—and every other soul out there—are meant to "become your one, true love!" –Paul Whiting (written February 14th, 2014, revised September 19th, 2021, revised October 3rd, 2021 and revised August 23rd, 2022)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I truly feel that you—and every other soul out there—are meant to 'become your one, true love!'"

Also, beginning in January 2013, I tried to create a post for virtually every holiday and special occasion of which I was aware, but I realized by September 2014 that I did not have enough time and energy to continue posting for every holiday and special occasion. And I decided to keep the poems in that series which were the most relevant to this blog, of which this is one.

And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
