Self-love is the greatest love of all. - Michelle Liew
***********************************************
In silent moments, I see my worth,
Without others' favour, in my own rebirth
I laud my flaws, and stand complete
A love for self, affirmed, unique
No need for fresh flowers, no need for rare gems,
In my warm arms, I am content.
This Valentine's, to me, I assent.
