Deep Thoughts

Why are we so afraid to fall in love,
When our heart we ware deep in our souls
Comes from a place with roads of gold.

We try our best to not get attached 
Like a band of Velcro laced on our backs
But when it comes down to it a life of pain
The one we loved left us in the rain.

We buy gifts to replace the hurt
When we all know love won't come in a shirt
We move forward or so we think
Till the next person comes in to make us weak

Putting all our trust in them won't ever be
Because that first love we had we must defeat
Its not fair to the next to feel our wrath of hurt
But we seem to come off like a jerk

If we chose to love and this we do
Make sure this love will remain true
No better days will make you smile
And to insure  your love they will walk that mile

Keep God on your hearts 
He will never fail
And till next time I wish you well.
