books, films and songs
tell you tales of love
that are fire and ice
I hope that one day
you will find love in a friend
that is as healing as water
as firm as the earth
a love that digs deep roots
and makes a home in your heart
forgive yourself
if you were not your first love
but the heart is a muscle
and love is a skill which you can learn
friends will teach you what it means
to find your words
arriving safely
on the shore of someone else’s heart
and what it means
to truly listen and be heard
when that grand romantic love arrives in your life
you will be well-versed in love
fully able to see through any lies
to decipher which love is true
you will know what it feels like to be loved
thinking of all the little ways
your friends take care of you
