"You understand...It is too far. I cannot take this body along with me. It is too heavy. Left behind, it will only be an old cast-off shell. There is nothing sad about an old shell"

Love is a terrible thing to waste
The way it feels
The way it tastes
The way it can take control
Free you mind
Making you forget protocol
Deep in your soul
Enjoying the whole experience
Building you up
Giving you confidence
Then turning on you
Breaking your heart
A time seemingly impossible to get through
But when comfort is needed
To stop all the bleeding
One rises above
Soothing you, 
There is love
And so begins the vicious cycle
Of falling in and out, and getting scrapes
It's a never ending circle
But
Love is a terrible thing to waste
