I was not informed that when you fall in love, you’re supposed to shout ‘This Means War’ at the top of your lungs, and dare the world to catch up with the soles of your feet. You ran across plains and through valleys, the soles of your shoes worn out from stomping out tiny fires, all started by your temper. I was not informed that you were permitted to burn down and pillage villages with your careless acts of lust. I've learned that the world is not exactly round however it's magical in the sence that it’s got a way of putting you right back in the spot you were trying to escape from. I saw fighter jets and missiles in your eyes, and felt bombs in your pulse. I loved you, though. Your lips were the only thing left of you. But even they swore and spewed anger. I was not informed that when you fall in love, your heart is supposed to die. You struck fear in the depth of my soul...but I forgot:  ‘all is fair in love and war’.
