The One — Summary

This adulthood doesn't suit me It's hard to adapt. I need humans to talk to but I got used to Google as it's easier. I have a few but I need someone. Am I sick of them ? I'm not definitely. I'm longing to have someone for me. Only me. Is it too much to ask for ? To the one, I can share everything. My love, friendship, life. Friend or lover ? Anyone but for me. Am I possessive? I'm desperate. Someone to take care of me, To support me, To listen to me, To share my happiness and sadness, To hug me, To roam with me, To laugh and watch movies with me, To text me, dance with me, To like my favourites, To be crazy, To have fun and be louder with me, To cry with me and be along my side with me till my end. Where are you? I miss you already.

The speaker feels lonely in adult life and says so right away: adulthood "doesn't suit" them, and adapting is hard. They admit they've drifted toward Google instead of people because it's easier, which says a lot about how isolated they've become. They do have a few people around, but it isn't enough. What they want is one person who belongs to them alone.

The middle of the poem turns into a long wish list: someone to listen, hug, laugh, watch movies, dance, cry, and stay "till my end." The simple, repeated "To..." lines make it sound like a heartfelt confession spilling out. The speaker even questions themselves, asking if they're possessive, then answering "I'm desperate." That honesty is the poem's most striking moment. The mood is vulnerable, tender and a little sad. The last line, "Where are you? I miss you already," ends on hope, as the speaker misses someone they haven't met yet.

I'm a pretty little doll to your eye You chose me when you found me fascinating; And thrown me like every dolls at last. Then i was the perfect one; Now
