How Do You Lose A Love
Losing what you never fully held — and still trying.
How Do You Loose A Love
How do you loose a love?
, a love you never had.
In a confusing mix of moments passes and memories shared,
I was shocked to find out just how much I truly cared.
For my heart knows no bounds, as such I am not afraid.
I'm not afraid to take a change again with my heart,
To make a fool of myself, and play this same old part.
When one wears his heart on his sleeve,
Truth becomes a rare pear in a fierce ocean of doubt.
But the worst sin of all would be to never to try to find out.
For some go their whole lives, always wondering
What if?
If it would have been love, with all of its splendor sublime,
Or another bout with rejection, and only a broken heart that would heal in time.
“How do you loose a love?”
