Welcome to the Broken Hearts Club: I. The way we are in the world

Love is not so short a feeling That fits between us.

We are in it,

The way we are in the world.

The saddest thing you’ll ever hear is that

Your friend doesn’t believe in love,

And that life might be okay without it,

Because you’ll wonder who taught them to settle, And who taught you to move.

Like is too juvenile a word, Love is too old.

So we’re stuck in the middle As children often are,

With everywhere to go but home.
