How To Love

Love is a fool’s game,
The reality is,
Love no one but yourself.
Because when you love,
You give yourself up,
And when you break,
You don’t get part of yourself back.

But if you do love,
Make sure it’s worth it.
Make sure every moment you spend crying
is matched with one hundred moments spent laughing.
It’s the only way you can live,
The only way you can love
Without losing anything in the end.

Make sure that person’s worth it,
Make sure they’ll keep your heart
In a box with a lock,
And make sure that they swallow the key,
So that your heart is implanted on them,
And your love will last forever.
