Lessons from Love



When the first one arrived, he made me wonder wide-eyed about love.
When he left, he took away my innocent ideas of love with him. 

When the second one came knocking at my door, he told me friendship is the purest form of love. 
When he walked away, he took my friend with him. 

When the third guy rushed in, he promised the ride of a lifetime. 
When he swirled away, he took my adventure with him.

When the fourth guy stumbled upon me, he showed me how love can be effortless. 
When he got up to leave, he took my love with him, leaving behind a broken heart. 

But. 

But when you arrived, you brought a breath of fresh air, you changed my notions, you told me I could love again. 


And when you left, you took away my will to try again.
