Love Quote by Steven Morrissey

There’s a particular Morrissey move here: turning a fear most people keep half-buried into something you can say out loud without flinching. The line doesn’t romanticize loneliness; it normalizes it. “Possible” is the hinge word - cool, clinical, almost statistical - and that restraint makes the sentiment hit harder. He’s not pleading for love or issuing a grand complaint. He’s describing an outcome, like a weather forecast, and the detachment becomes its own kind of ache.

The intent feels less like nihilism than preemptive self-defense. If you can name the worst-case scenario, you can stop pretending your life is a waiting room for a cinematic payoff. The subtext is classic Morrissey: the suspicion that the culture’s love story is a rigged game, and that some people are simply not cast. Notice the second clause: “or find someone who loves you.” He splits desire from reciprocity. Wanting love isn’t the same as being chosen, and being chosen isn’t the same as wanting it back. That asymmetry is where a lot of his writing lives.

Contextually, it lands in the terrain Morrissey helped map in pop music: outsider intimacy, yearning without triumph, the everyday drama of not fitting the script. Coming from a musician whose persona made a spectacle of sensitivity, this reads like an anti-affirmation: not “you’ll find someone,” but “you might not, and that’s real.” It’s bleak, yes, but also oddly liberating - permission to build a life that isn’t contingent on a couple narrative.
