A THOUSAND AND ONE WORDS

still learning

life is a game

a test

lessons to be learned

things to be taught

each relationship becomes a core memory

something to look back upon

an orb holding what's nearest and dearest

to your heart

they fuel your soul

they make your heart beat faster

and form a smile on your lips

but each person

can be merely a lesson

something you must learn

to finally complete the game

to get to the end result

of happiness and satisfaction

it's at different stages for each person

some might find it young

some might never find it

but when all is said and done

you were my favourite lesson

and yet

i wished you were my ending

i felt satisfied with you

like i had found what i had been searching for

like it was finally over

i was enough

but you turned into one more lesson

and out of all your lies

that you told me

that i learned from

and grew from

"i love you"

had to be my favourite

i really thought you were it

maybe the lesson was to not trust you

maybe the lesson was what i learnt along the way

about myself and about you 

maybe the lesson was based on lies

but either way

i guess i'm still learning.
