"Lessons"
@Uootem
The lessons being in love provides us
are a very unusual education.
One not easily learned nor simply forgotten.
Your heart learns songs about the joy of rain;
and the fragrances of spring flowers it brings;
about walking through puddles of happiness;
about the laughter of birds and bees.
Your heart learns to sing about the storms of pain;
When thunder crashes through the silence;
And how cold the droplets can seem;
when they mix with love lorn tears.
No wonder there are so many love songs!
We learn to soar among the heavens, never fearing a fall;
Like doves and eagles and airplanes, we can travel the globe;
about how to walk on cloud nine and above;
about how lighter than air, this being in love makes you feel.
We learn to crawl through the desperation of it all;
about how low a heart can sink when it breaks;
about how heavy a burden, this love lost can be;
And how love can last forever, even when not returned.
No wonder lovers peer into the stars!
We learn how to feel emotions so deep;
To dream of the future, its promises, all its comforts;
about how to see your soul through her eyes;
about how love can shape and mold your life.
We learn how to deal with emotions we shouldn't keep;
To yearn for yesterday, but not give up hope;
about heartache and loneliness and carrying on;
about how sharp is the point on cupid's arrow.
No wonder hearts are so reddened!
No matter what it brings our life's way;
Love always helps us learn as we grow up;
about trusting your heart to someone else;
about warmth and giving and holding nothing back.
When fate gives us a love gone away;
We learn about overcoming each obstacle with pride;
about suppressing the wanting and hurting and emptiness
about keeping those emotions penned up inside.
So when I am feeling love's taken me down,
And feeling that love is not so impartial;
I think of all the times passed;
And how far I've come since then.
Love is a very strange education found;
It brought me you and took you away again.
But through this teaching I have learned so well;
That this love I have for you, keeps me to my search.
