Is It Happening Again?
By: Kristen Ducatte

The first time it happened,
I knew it was great.
But something inside
turned beautiful love into hate.

After being hurt,
too many a time,
I started realizing,
my heart wasn't his. my heart was mine.

I let go of the
greatest thing I ever knew.
without knowing why,
not even a clue.

But the more I think of it,
I realize now.
I had to be my own person,
I no longer knew how.

I'd became a part of him,
became a part of his soul.
All things come to an end,
even love has a toll.

But I swore that I would
never do that again.
My mind told me no,
but my heart had to win.

My first love caused
too much pain to bear.
So why am I in love again??
Life is never fair.

You've changed me for the better,
you've opened me up.
Taken me out of my shell,
with your sweet gentle touch.

But this love too,
I know it will end.
But I know enough now
to make sure you're my friend.

See love of the heart,
is a very confusing thing.
it can't be represented
by a bracelet or ring.

But a friend's love is
something that will never change,
no matter how high it goes,
or how far the range.

So all I know is to
warn you of this,
nothing is as painful
as a lover's dead kiss.

End
