First love is easy
it starts easy
and even ends easy…
the pain of losing your first love
is sweeter than the love itself
heroic pain
aching vanity

But to love again,
and to lose again
…that can break the strongest of hearts
because this time
it’s not
an innocent heart that breaks
but a healed one
a heart barely put together
by stitches
to hold together the pieces
time plastered on the cracks…

a heart choosing
to open up
knowing
it may never fully heal again!
