When you let someone in, they can let you down.
And when you get let down, you fall.
You fall hard and it hurts.
It hurts to feel that you were betrayed.
It hurts to know that someone you had trusted only told you lies.
It hurts to realize that you were stupid.
You opened yourself up, took down your walls for someone.
Someone you thought would be there for you.
But it turns out that they weren't.
So you fell.
And it hurt.
And no one is there to help you get back up.
Except you.
Sometimes you is all you have.
And sometimes you have to be enough.

We say love is a virtue.
We say love opens your life up to possibilities not known to you before.
We also say love is blind.

Love is a necessity,
Love is uncharacteristically pure,
Love shouldn't hurt,
Love should be nice,
Love shouldn't scream,
Love shouldn't hit,
Love shouldn't leave me.

Or maybe love should.

Love left dirt where there should have been a flower.
Love left me in the rain when I should have been basking in the sun.
Love took half of my heart and left me behind.

When love finally came back, I turned him away at the door.

I wish I was a rain drop,
There's never a same stop.
I would always be together,
There will always be a space to gather.

You've found me in my den,
Too bad I can't harm my guests,
Come meet me at the seashore,
I'll show you the lion you didn't see.

In the beginning,
A slight flame,
so pretty.

There is no cold,
Just a lack of heat.

You still were the warmest place they knew;

To even force a fire out of you.

To burn you down to ashes,
Left with not even a spark,

There still is no warmer place than you.

Even when it's left with no fire,
Not even warmth,
But cold.

I want to be with the person,
who always comes through to me,
the person who somehow,
against all odds,
makes a miracle.

Being in love with someone you can't have,
And not just moving on,
Thats crazy! There is no other word for that.

     There is a word for that-
IT'S LOVE!
If you're looking for the word,
That means caring about someone,
Beyond all rationality
And wanting them to have everything they want,
No matter how much it destroys you-
It's love!
And when you love someone,
You just.. you.. you don't stop-
EVER!
Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy,
Even then-
Especially then!!
You just.. you don't give up!
Because if I could give up,
If I could take the whole worlds advice
And move on and find someone else,
That wouldn't be love..
That would be some other disposable thing, that is not worth fighting for,
But that is not what this is.

Nothing scares me more,
Than loving someone you can't have.

I owe myself an apology-
For forgetting about myself
And instead chasing someone,
Who hurt me even more.
