i have loved before,
i was young and naive
and i believed that goodness resided in everyone.

but life plays a cruel game,
and i learnt that people were not as kind as i had hoped;
they hurt me
and i broke.

so i promised myself
to never make the same mistake,
because the pain would never
be worth it.

yet,
it would seem that i am forever a fool,
for i found myself loving you
despite all the pain i had endured before.

i looked at you and saw the stars
and love soared in my heart

but just like the humans
who had broke me before,
did you break me again.

i was a fool to have loved you,
but i would choose to love you again.
