the harder you resist
it hurts more when you fall
...
it gives you hope
yet it lets you down
...
it picks you up
only to rip you apart.
..
it tests your patience
your feelings
..
when finally you surrender
it says "i like you"
..
not the word longed for
but enough to stay.
...
love so beautiful
enough to endure
the cruelty
for a taste of it.
