Another Lover

Don't be sad.
Don't feel lonely.
Your heart won't break.
Soon there'll be another lover to take.

He'll hug you and kiss you,
And come to you,
And say that he loves only you.

He'll look into your eyes,
And swear by the stars
He'll tell you no lies.

He'll take you and hold you,
And you'll begin again,
Another lover to win.

So don't be sad.
Don't feel lonely.
Your heart won't break.
Your lover is gone
But another lover you'll take,
And another, and another, and another lover you'll take.

Thats the thing with love... It always comes and goes.. Which makes yoy think about how loyal love is.. Tina Turner said it best, whats love but a second hand emotion..

Hi Z. Well, sometimes love lasts forever and ever and ever....The relationship might not always last but sometimes the love you feel/felt for that person never dies.

Without love, this world would cease to exist. A new year and a new avatar for the Budge /|\ Haha

Beautiful poem, I think the one below didn't quite get the meaning, I hope for us all to find a love that has meaning and is true, then the chance to last is much greater. Hugs!
