Lessons on Love

"Places you can find love
It sits around lurking in places"
Such like crevices and abysses
Or on either sides of it.

Love is a walk over an edge
And crossing over the bridge
Reaching out to another heart
While carefully treading your speed.

Some people love too fast, some I have seen loving too slowly
And before you can make any room for love in your mind,
Lust already seeps in.
And for the fast ones, they have already caught the train
Which takes their ride to a fantastical world 
Without their lover's stains.
And you end up loving one
Who's far from the real face
You end up having an imaginary love affair
With someone who ain't ready to stay.

And so while you fall, befriend your heart with your mind
Lest your mind clouds your vision
From distinguishing left from right
And you'd be muddled up and be lost in the
Wrong direction.

And don't lose the sight of whoever it is you are chasing
Be aware of how much of you they are tolerating
And keep your mind open to the possibility of
Things and people turning to cheating.

For what is worse than being jilted
Is living with false assurances of love
Let the truth fall out like the leaves in autumn
So that the tree may stand bare and forlorn.
But that, my dear, is a beautiful sight, don't despair
Marvel how you have grown inside by the break of light
After this tremendous repair.
And one day you shall then perhaps
Walk gently into the love, my dear.
