Love Monster

You are the reason I'm alive
The beauty to survive
The air between the moments you arrived
I longed for you to show me life

You ripped my head until it stung
Entire worlds of wrong
Thank you monster 
For teaching me

That love I sang is not for me
I'm so happy

Thanks. It's about recognising that love is about moderation with the things in my life i enjoy experiencing, not the deluded disney marriage of 24/7 and regular compromise.
