Falling in love is the best and worst thing you can do for yourself

It gives you wings, then tells you not to fly
It says trust me, but your emotions are so strong that you want to cry
It screams at you and wakes you from your dreams
then pats your head until you forget what freedom means

And as you wrap yourself in the arms of the one you claim to love
You forget the strength of standing alone and take comfort in there shadow. Falling in love is the best and worst thing you can do for yourself

It opens your eyes so you put someone else first. To the point where there thirst becomes your thirst. There passion your motivation. And there is no shame to giving of yourself freely. And you never look for a favor in return because every gift was just that, a token of your love.

There is no shame only joy and it only hurts when they return all your gifts broken.
Falling in love is the best and worst thing you can do for yourself.
