Friends... Lovers... Family...

In a world so belligerent, there is only one outcome to forming such relations-sorrow. Be it through heartbreaking betrayal or heart wrenching loss, the warmth of which one finds themselves embraced by upon forming such bonds isn't meant to last forever, and the biting cold it leaves behind can leave you scarred for the rest of your days.

Then, why? Why do people yearn for such relations despite having the knowledge as to how things are going to end? Why open your heart to the world when you know that, at the end of the road, unimaginable pain awaits you?

Why, just why?

A complete and utter novice to this realm, perhaps I have no right to further my perspective over such a concept.

Maybe,

Maybe one day, I'll understand what love is.

Before,

Before it's too late.
