The hardest thing to learn is the beat of your own heart, <br />But how could you ever orchestrate a symphony learn music from the start. <br />It's a life long lesson you have to learn pain and who you are, <br />You'll never learn to love anyone unless you find your own star. <br />See once you hurt you'll never want another to feel this sorrow, <br />You will wake up everyday to make them have a better tomorrow. <br />The bond of a friendship has to take place, <br />A firm foundation forged with consistency you have time this is no race. <br />Then layer with truth, trust now matter how bad you believe, <br />It will be accepted you shall get that in return they won't leave. <br />Intimacy interestingly enough does not only mean sex, it gets deeper, <br />Like opening up your soul exposing our spirit to another makes you a keeper. <br />Weaknesses exposed flaws out on the table no more cards to hold, <br />Forgiveness and understanding now true love can now unfold.<br /><br />Tim Holmes Jr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/complicated-simplicity-3/
