The one who breaks you
And the one who heals you
Are never the same person
And still,
You commit to the one
Who drops you the hardest
Because that’s what people do.
Because we would rather know
What it’s like to fall,
Despite everything
We have ever known about flying.
Because we could rather burn,
Despite what they’ve told us
About fire.
We would rather love
And get hurt
Than not have loved at all.
