in & out of love

we were something

until we aren’t anymore

i asked a friend today

am i strange

to have loved and lost

these people in my life

that nothing stayed

and at the end

i’m alone again.

she said,

it’s better to have loved

and fell out of love

when i could still do

people who have been together

a lifetime could also break apart

isn’t that wasting time instead?

i don’t know. what is worse?

fall in and then out of love

with a hundred souls

or finding the one

but you can’t be with them.
