You have to feel the hurt
cos it's the only way to know
if you can love someone
despite the pain

You have to feel the loss
cos it's the only way to know
if you can be with anyone
despite the desolation

You have to feel the betrayal
cos it's the only way to know
if you can trust someone
despite the lies

You have to feel everything
cos it's the only way to know
if you can continue
despite them

- J. L
