When I loved first it was different.

It was strong enough to make me do stupidly illogical things.

I felt like it would last until the end of time.

I let myself fall without resisting.

I was blissfully ignorant.

It was everything I ever wanted.

The second time I loved it was different too.

It was easy and flowed like water.

I didn't have to try so hard.

It was fun but not for fun.

It was second nature.

Love was simple but so amazingly complex.

The third time I loved was different.

It was just by chance.

It was wild and free.

It was young but has potential.

It was primal.

The fourth time I loved it was difficult.

It was hard because I could only love with what was left of me.

When I fell I struggled and fought against it.

I was loved with everything that remained.

My belief in love was anew.

The fifth time I love hasn't happened and may not ever happen.
