and i used to think
that there was only
a certain amount
of love in the world
and i used to think
that if i were loved
more than another
that they would
lose their love
and i used to think
back in my school-
years that people
would miss the love
and i used to think
that when i was
heartbroken
another would
smile
and i used to think
these thoughts
and they used to
dance all night
in my head

and i know
that dance
is over
