To me, the poem isn't about love between a man and a woman. It's how we all fall in love with a feeling, with love itself. Sometimes we think we are in love, but in fact we are in love with love, with the feeling of being in love. It's about our fear of being alone.

Well, my girlfriend went to a party with my best friend. I love her very much but was ver angry at her.

Unfortunately being in love is like being drunk, you cant write straigh for shit. Actually i think i did have a couple beers before i wrote it too :D

Glad you all liked it, please buy my book and help me pay for my partying ;D

he would accept me back with open arms, yet it is he who left me. i thought he wanted me back. what a fool i was. just a trap to keep me alive, but for what. he is with her now, and i am still stuck here with orders to stay away.

It's all about love.
Love makes us happy. Love makes us sad.
No matter what it is, we always want it.

I felt a squeeze in my heart when I read this poem in an early morning. It touched me deeply because it is how I feel at this moment! A very deep poem; I wonder if it is as powerful as in Spanish.
