To live, is to love. To love, is to be loved.

To be loved, is to know the difference between love and affection.

The difference between love and affection is a lesson learnt fast,

Taught by a teacher you wish you had never wanted.

But, you do. With all your heart.

So you learn, and learn well, to show affection, but guard love.

Lest it should confuse another, as it did you.
