a short poem about L words.

What is it to live? Is living as simple as breathing in and out? Or can you not live without first loving?

 

And what is it to love? Is loving as simple as feeling attracted to another person? Or can you not love with out first losing?

 

And what is it to lose? Is it as simple as not having that thing which you had just a minute ago?

 

So therefore, if you cannot lose, you cannot love. if you cannot love, you cannot live.

And what is life without living? Well, nothing.

So, loss is important.
