Don'T Fall In Love

If I see you again don’t even say “hello”
And I get the point that I should leave you alone
But I thought that I could spend every moment that I had with you
I thought I could live in your arms

You helped me for all the wrong reasons
But the worst is over now 
I can finally breathe again
I can finally lift myself back up

I know I’m good for something
I just haven’t found it yet
And I know I've got my problems
But I’m sorry

No one ever said this would be easy
And the memories are fading
All the promises you gave me have been broken
And I cannot escape the past

Inside I hope you know I’m dying
But I still see your face with every breath I take
Take my heart as you’re leaving 
I don’t need it anymore, it’s killing me

You’re all I hoped I’d ever find
I can’t forget you
And I’m thinking of all the worst things that could happen
But they already came 

I hope that you know I’m sorry
But I can’t stop crying
I’ll forget your scars if you forget mine
Hold onto me and don’t you ever leave

I know you say that I should forget you
But we both know that I'm not that strong 
And I would give up everything just to have you
I would die just to be by your side

So, don't fall in love
There's just too much to lose

I really connect to the ways you express yourself through poetry. This literally felt like I was in your shoes. Gave me reasons to recall back to my own experience of love. Well, it is said that ''If you haven't had your heart broken before then you haven't really fallen in love. Victory

I'm glad you're able to connect with my work and understand it fully. Heartbreak is hard, but it's worth the love you had experienced.

Tatianna, welcome to love, the mystical stew of bliss, joy, confusion, pain, anger and comfort. You fell once, you'll fall again, we all do, because it's worth the fall, and you'll always have the chance to get up if need be. Go. Love. Best, Subby

Yes, I have discovered the world of love. I fell in deep and I'm sure I will again.
