How Come I Feel Like I Have Herpes

love

I learned many things about love.

I learned that my heart may break,

but also know that the wounds slowly heal themselves.

I learned to appreciate the weight of the sincerity

despite a seemingly harmless lie. I

learned that not everyone knows the meaning of the word "respect", but not

are willing to learn.

I learned that there is a time to laugh and one to cry,

without letting one take over the other.

I learned that right and wrong in most cases are intertwined in a swirling path

which our eyes see only the beginning and end.

I learned to put in your pocket fragments of walking with me a part of the way,

so you never have to say goodbye.
