Earn the Love and Keep It

Earn the love and keep it, turn each impossible thought into a believable fact; earn it and be worthy of it. Paint love in bright colors, accept the joys it gives, don't reject its boring times: follow in the footsteps of lovers. Earn the love and keep it, strengthen it with togetherness and push it in the right direction; in wanting it, you reinforce devotion. Keeping it puts you into high gear, avoiding it is a cause built on a lie; and whichever side you turn to, you dig deeper the hole left inside of you, with bitterness, you'll say, " I was the generous giver with the biggest heart, now, I am the lonely one in search of myself. Earn the love and keep it, in bringing it upright there's merit beyond thought; now, I am the repentant one who'll pay the high cost, the lost one without worth.
