It's much easier to hate
than to love.
But love
can be just as destructive as hate.
Make sure you mean it
and make sure you'd believe it
and don't make any quick decisions.
Be honest,
and don't use it to your advantage.
Don't say it
unless you mean it.
It's a lot bigger
than four letters.
It's a big word,
and its weight
can destroy you
or the person you're looking to love.
When you like someone,
you expect them to feel the same way.
But sometimes
it's a one way street.
"Love" is a big word
for big, grown up people
and it brings a big responsibility.
Falling in love is easy,
but falling out of love
has proven to be much more difficult.
So don't throw around a word with that kind of weight
and take it back when you don't like the reaction you receive.
Save it for someone
who really does mean the world to you.
When a child says a grown up word,
it seems childish.
So wait a while
until you're grown up
and you can handle that kind of responsibility.
