Surviving Heartbreak

Lessons Of The Heart

I've been hurt by love before,

Promised myself I'd never try again.

Stayed alone, worked on myself,

Made sure not to repeat the same mistakes.

They always say, "You'll get over it,"

And I did, but it took time.

I finally found my way out,

Healed the pieces of my broken heart.

I wasn't sure I wanted to risk it again,

And face another heartbreak,

I swore to myself I wouldn't,

But then you showed up.

You were there before,

But this time, I truly saw you,

And you said, "Let's try,"

So I put my promises aside, for you.

Who would have known,

That would be my biggest lesson yet?

I fell for you, deeply, completely,

But I'm pretty sure I was the only one who did.
