The day after...

So, it's the day after valentine's day and if I go with my theory that everyday should be a love day, I think it would be pretty exhausting.  But, having said that, the day after valentine's day is normally a good one because sometimes, it reconnects you to a deeper level with your loved one, where the day after seems special and new.  I have a deeper understanding, a deeper love that I feel today that I didn't feel yesterday.  And it makes me think that this can be developed, can be practiced, if I keep striving to stay more honest, to stay true to myself and my feelings, and in return, listen and stay open to understanding my loved one and their desires...but as I said yesterday, I love LOVE, and if I had to choose love for one day, or one moment out of a year, or one moment out of a lifetime, I would chose to love once over not loving at all...


I prefer to love you once
Then never at all

And risk the needles of loss, if only
If only I can love you once.

If all my life I mourn your loss
So be it, to love you once

I trust I’ll live enough
If only I can love you once
And all my sadness will lesson
If only I can love you once

I’ll die more pleasantly
Bury myself before my time
But one moment I will shine
If only I can love you once

Blinking love wins the game
Maybe even untamed and messy
Out of the lines, colors redefined
If only I can love you once

But I’ll be fine, if only,
If only I can love you once, baby
I’ll be fine if only
If only I can love you once
