Farewell to a comfortable illusion

You fumble with love

By trying not to trigger

a conditioned response

To only paint yourself into oblivion

You wanted to know

what it feels like to love passionately

You fell in love so hard until it hurt

You cried randomly until you had to let go.

From hopeless romantic

To hopeful romantic

one day you will find love again

or love will find you

Balancing back out again

To see yourself cheerfully in love

And beginning a new chapter

Of intense inspiration

It's the desire to try again

That makes love worth trying

One day you will find love again

Or love will find you.
