tomorrow won't be better. yesterday won't be worse. tomorrow won't offer, but i'll ask of her. i'll never learn.

a heart knows not the limitations that lives portend. a heart could care less the boundaries sanity contends.a heart knows no such margins. no such fear. a heart exists only to love. regardless of why or what. a heart lives only because it can love. and loves only because it must.

i don't believe in someday or the next. i don't believe in happy endings or your reasons to pretend. but i believe in this heart and i believe it whom it's chosen to live. i don't believe the result will ever be what was expected. but i do believe it was worth the effort. that it contained defining moments in this life. that i would not be the same otherwise.

i don't believe in you anymore. and i've never believed in me. but i do trust this heart and its instincts. i don't believe in happy endings, but i do believe every love has its own unique reason. i don't believe in someday, but i do believe there's no such thing as loving in vain. i don't believe in reciprocation. or requited love. but i do trust in the instincts of the heart. i don't dare take tomorrow's false promises, but i know that yesterday still has a few moments to defend. i don't trust tomorrow. and today is just a stepping stone. but i do remember yesterday. and even if she sometimes lies, i know that she is real. i don't believe in you anymore. and i've never believed in me. i once believed in us. but now it's easier just to love without a reason. i don't need a reason. in this heart i trust.

the heart cares not the face or the flesh. the heart loves regardless. the heart lives only to love. and loves only because it must.
