For years of my existence
I had experienced affection and affliction
The one who loved
and loved in return
Loved more than I ever loved someone
even myself
I had been the suspect
and the victim
Gulity from taking advantage
and been taken advantage of
This heart experienced tachycardia
at times it ceased to beat
I had been the one holding another person's hand
and had been the one to let go
I loved blindly
and been the one blindly loved
Then someone asked, ''Are you a pain ******? what's with all the loving then hurting?
Then I answered, '' I loved''
