One True Love (poem)

[vampire1327]

Some say love is a once in a life time
Some believe it dies and is reborn
Some think there's not just one chance.

Most think romance comes first
Many believe in "love at first sight",
Few say friendship is key.

Of course any of these could be correct
It's all about what you believe.

Then there's the one who hits them all straight on.
The one who's box is checked, "All of the Above".

Well I draw those in.
Each one, different person, different time.
Each either broke me or I broke them.
And then the one who thinks as I do
The one who comes back for me.

Broke my heart twice, then disappeard.
There were two more in between
One I broke, the other destroyed me

But now I'm back at the beginning
The one who can't get enough of me.
Yet can't get anything out of me either
But still hangs around.

I'm terrified of breaking someone again
So I become distant.
Then I think it's demolishing us
Yet it isn't, not at all actually.
If only I could stop thinking
It would be so much simpler.

No pain, no compassion, nothing to worry about
But then I wouldn't love, that would kill me
Cut me deeply and let me drown
In the crimson lake of my own destruction.

So much easier, yet so complicated.
If only I could just let go, just once.
And feel what it means to really live

But I'm the responsible one
The one who always knows what to do next
Nothing isn't out of my reach
Yet everything is.

I wish to let go and be with that one person
My "All of the Above" person
My one true love.
