If I could talk only one short day more
what choice words would I use to speak to thee,
which lucky ones would pour upon your floor
and rightly make clear what is felt by me?
Should I start with a verb, the deepest one
that does run in our language and contains
only four concise letters and is done
quickly, yet for a long time it remains;
Or, perhaps, no words can do you justice,
I should ramble along, a normal day.
One day only lets me skim the surface,
so I suppose you must hear what I say.
The actual words do not much matter,
if you feel them above normal chatter

The truth is that at some point, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.
