We Do Not Live to Fall in Love

Can we all just stop talking about love and heartbreak for one minute please?
There has to be more to life than romance and tragedy.
We are not puzzles missing a piece
Waiting for the right person
The one person
Who can complete us.
We do not hold keys
Made for that one special lock
That opens to a heart.
As shocking as it sounds, if someone leaves us
Our world will not end.
Our hearts will not stop beating
Our lungs will not forget how to breathe
Our feet, will still want to move us forward.
Is this coming from someone who has never experienced
The "passionate" warmth
Or the burns that come from the cold when it's gone?
Yea.
This is coming from a person who could not fathom
Looking for a handyman
To fix your broken soul
When you're holding the tools to make yourself whole.
This is coming from a person who does not understand
What this pain is
When someone stops holding your hand
And I'm sure it hurts.
I'm sure it's beautiful.
But life holds more than kisses
And teardrops
Especially at such a young age
Looking for a soul mate by the lockers
When our friends hold a love
That will last much longer
than stolen glances you chance between classes.
Because life and love,
Are two different things.
And We do not live
To fall in love.
