There’s an old saying that goes If you love, set it free. What if you let that love go And happiness is what you’ll never see? The sunrise in the morning It will never be the same. The colors, the textures It’s as though it never came. Food begins to lose all taste The flavors have gone bland. The tastes you once enjoyed Are nothing more than sand. The days, they last forever The night will never come The more to try to fight the pain The more sadness makes you numb. You feel you had to let love go To see them smile again. To see the happiness upon their face While you are drenched by the rain. You heart has never ached more Nor your mind ever been so alone. You yearn for the love which you set free Wanting the life you’ve always known. Love will return to you In a different time and place You will see the sun shine bright again In the smile upon your new love’s face.

Love is risk. This poem is a tremendous example of why we need to be certain of that risk. Better to love & lost, as they say...great writing!
