I've learned
that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is
be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned -
that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
I've learned
that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned
that although the word "love"
can have many different meanings,
it loses value when overly used.
