What would happen

If the one thing you wanted

Most in life

Was staring you right in the face

Yet you couldn't have it

Because the thing you want most in life

Is something you can't take

You have to earn it

From someone else

You can give it all you want

But be careful to who you do

Because they can take that

And crush it into dust

And the more you give it out

The more it will break

Until nothing is left but shards

That sparkle with your tears

But then you give it

To the right person

And they treasure your gift

They catch you when you fall

And tell you everything is going to be okay

What if the one thing

You wanted most in life

Was love
