8 Habits of Love

Don't make it a habit 
to dare people to shoot you. 

Don't make it a habit
to stop calling your parents.

Don't make it a habit
to give up on your dreams.

Don't make it habit
to write mediocre poetry.

Make it a habit
to go to the moon and back.

Make it a habit
to kiss your friends goodbye 

Make it a habit
and dare people to Marry you.

and if that marriage fails

Make it a habit
to love over and over again.
