Oil on my face

I wash my
face,
like I do 
every night.
Today was 
a restful day.
A day to reflect.
Reflect on where
I am and 
where I want to 
be and who
I want to be with.
At this point
in my life
I have just 
fallen in 
love with me.
In doing
this, 
it makes 
it hard for
me to have
a relationship.
I had many
before
all bad.
All one sided.
But now
I want more.
I deserve more.
I look in the mirror
at my reflection.
I pull my hair
back and start to
wash my face.
I have more lines
and more grey hair. 
but what I have now
that I did
not have back then was
a love for myself.
I take vitamin
oil
and put it all over
my face. 
It fills in
the lines
and for a moment
I look younger.
Then the oil
quickly 
seeps in
and I am me again.
Right now,
my age.
Its ok..
Because I love
me and I will never
go back to who I
was.
Or the men I
gave myself too.
And I will never
go back to youth 
before I needed oil on my 
face.
I am love.
