Lessons Learned In A Bamboo Summer

Love doesn't fail.
We fail to choose
the right partners.

Love may not be
what it seems to be.
Some partake of love
honestly and some
dishonestly.

Sincerity is the hope
of some and a method
of control and
manipulation
to others.

Even as we try our best to
pursue love, we have no control
over anothers sincerity or desire.

Always have hope for love
as it still lives on
even when hearts involved
and circumstance change.

Feeling like I've failed
and still passed loves test,
with love and regret
I lay this bamboo
summer to rest.

Much truth in this, James.

"Feeling like I've failed
and still passed loves test"
Indeed, one can have pass-fail feelings simultaneously.

Thank you MoonShadow, Midnitesun and Lady for the nice responses...
It has been good and bad...I believe that some things that happened to me that some would consider bad, were for my own good...for lessons, for growth...James
