Why Connections Matter More Important Than Love ?
I fell in love once or twice,
not the way I’d seen in fairy tales,
so I said to myself, not real.
Now it is burnt into my memory,
and everyone who is here,
I love with a full heart.
I live for connections.
I do not live for happy endings.
I fall in love every day now,
so when I speak with you,
know I love strangers walking by.
My walls have now melted
with the mercy I feel
every second of every day.
I used to fall from buildings in my dreams,
with no one to save me.
I never reached the ground;
I just kept falling.
I fall from buildings now
and start flying,
still alone,
but not scared of love or life.
Because one without the other
is not really living.
I now sleep at night with beads
that are weapons to protect my soul,
my most loving heart,
and my smile
that has opened so many hearts
and healed so many heartaches.
All my ands, no regrets.
I keep planting one seed at a time,
keep moving forward.
I know all these will grow in time.
