They say
You fall in love.
They’re wrong.

Love is built
Brick by brick
Upon a foundation
Of friendship

Lust and desire
Tempered by
Cooperation
And compromise

Butterflies
Like rollercoasters
May seem like falling
But there’s always
Safety at the bottom

When foundations
Aren’t made equally
They crumble

Falls hurt
They leave you
Broken and bloody
Forever scarred
