There are those of us that have desires
Desires to be happy without risk
To put those things that hurt us
Behind ourselves for good

There is a way to be happy
As many of us know
It is this wonderful emotion
That us mortals know as love

But love is as sour as it is sweet
And with that sourness comes bitterness
And the bitterness turns into anger
And eventually loneliness

There are simple steps to prevent yourself
From becoming lonely and mad
They may sound bittersweet,
But I promise it will help in the end

Step One, Be Honest
It is as simple as that
Always be honest to your love
And it shall be returned

Step Two, Show Caring
There is no need to be a wall
A mindless, spineless, emotionless wall
You need to return the love

Step Three, The Backup
In case one and two do not work,
It is always good to be wary of what may be
The End is as close as the beginning.

If the end does arrive, embrace it,
Embrace it with as much passion
As you gave your lover, it will hurt,
But the Hurt will only be for a short while.

The hurt will help you move on,
and not be ****** into the vortex of hate
And how can I tell you these steps, you ask?
Simple, I live them day by day.
