Is Love
Just A Test?

I'm not totally stupid believe it or not.
I know what my heart does or doesn't want.
I know when I do or don't stand a chance.
My heart tells me all kinds of things
when it's reaching for romance.
It may take awhile but me and my heart
always figure things out somehow
and then we make all the necessary adjustments
like final goodbyes or tearful letting go's,
goodbye kisses and last movie shows.
But someday I'll wake up in the morning
all excited and refreshed
and smile as I discover
what remains has stood up
to love's test.

Oh dear, if love is just a test I think I'd get a D- for the mastering of it. Ah, but I'd get an A++ for the feeling of it.

Enjoyed this.

Love is a test. But if you put your heart into it you will pass with ease...just remember what goes with love hand in hand.."honesty"
I liked your work. It is a good read

i think sometimes love teaches us to be on guard from the loves we have met in the past..and dont make the same mistakes again...just different ones ha..

thank you
