When you meet someone
and you know they’ll break your heart,
don’t run away. Wait
for notes and flowers
and love songs and sweet vows. Let
them love you softly.
You know it will come:
missed calls and angered texts,
Hasty words, sour regret.
Let it come, gently;
wrap yourself in warm blankets
and broken-heart songs.
Remember to love
the people who’ll break your heart,
smile and walk away.
Heal your scars and sleep
soundly. Tomorrow, you’ll learn
how to love yourself.
