Love is Hard

Sometimes you love someone

But you’re not really sure

You wonder if two different people

Can be together besides the differences

Sometimes talking stabs me like a knife

Going deep inside my sensitive heart

It’s hard to understand it all

But there must be something hidden

That unites us both

Everyday I make him a phone call

And hope to listen to words of comfort

But the conversation takes another direction

Now the topic makes me want to break up

I’m down in the dumps and nothing can ease me

No bottle of wine is enough to make me smile

At least that’s what I think

But that drink is too strong for me

I’m getting absolutely crazy

Because I can’t give up from this love

Loneliness is a feeling that I don’t want to taste again

Then, I rather suffer the doubt of true love

Than being alone again

Oh God! And think that this is just my first love

After more than twenty five years of life

I don’t know how the future will be

The only thing I’m sure of is that I must live the now

Without building my life totally in the future

That is so unexpected for every human being

Finally, the best thing to do is to let it be
