Broken but not Shattered!

Why do we always love? but get hurt?
but then we still love all over again?
What is it in the heart that the mind knows that it hurts,
but the heart disregards the pain.
Is this the real meaning of "No Pain, No Gain".


Do we have to experience pain before we find true love?
In order to say that "Love is Sweeter the Second Time Around?"
We must be fooling ourselves because the heartache keeps on spinning round and round
even if we drop tears on the ground.


Take me to the deepest and darkest part of the sea,
where you are the only one who can see, how misery it can be.
If MISERY is all I need to cross all FOUR MYSTERIES of the ROSARY,
then, let it be, because you and your love is all that matters to me.


Why am I Powerless and Helpless when it comes to love?
Powerless in a sense, that, no matter how many times My heart may be broken,
count it once, twice, hundred or even a thousand times.
It does not stop me from fixing it a million times.
Helpless, because even this heart keeps on breaking, keeps on fixing,
but I keep on returning, never learned the lessons, am I not learning?


But questions always pop up in my mind.
Does love really worth all the sacrifice?
Am I the only one loving someone, without that someone loving back the "I"?
Is it selfless love or selfish love?
Aren't this two words the same in the "Game of Love".
"Loving Myself Less Selfishly or Selfishly Loving Myself Selflessly?"
Which is which?
Or is it just how we translate words base on our own understanding, but without learning.


Each day I dreamed.
Dreaming that both of us will walk down the aisle,
and
exchanging our vows' and dos'.
Because like what they always say,
"It takes two to tango",
and love is shared by two.
It is not just I nor just YOU.
But the both of US saying I LOVE YOU.


But the reality! Sad to say,
I know its not gonna happened anyway,
Hope Someday you'll see,
my effort and worth,
because when time comes, when my feelings and love fades away,
you can never find me, even you go down south or up north,
or crossing the seven seas.
Cross fingers, you'll never find me there or either way. PEACE!
