DON'T RUSH TO LOVE (AORN)

Don’t rush to love, my friend,
If “not being loved” you cannot bend,
For love can twist in a strange disguise,
And later you’ll regret the ties.
The one you call your dearest true,
May really care, may cherish you,
Yet hearts that run with reckless flame
Won’t make the wiser mind the same.
When moonlight circles back one day,
You’ll find his traps along your way,
Then troubles start, the dream’s in part,
For love he gave had bounds from start.

Don’t rush to love, if you can’t bear
The quarrels creeping unaware,
For love can charm and softly woo,
Yet chase a thousand dreams anew.
The face, the form, may catch your sight,
But fade like sparks in fleeting light,
And those will lead you to a fall,
Till loneliness surrounds it all.
Alone you’ll drift in restless mind,
While he won’t care, nor glance behind,
No pity for your silent ache,
Just steps away, your heart will break.

Don’t rush to love, if you can’t stay
Through games that lead the heart astray,
For love will break if viewed one way,
A fragile glass in light of day.
You think you’re strong, so firm, so true,
But he won’t even think of you,
You tie the knot, so sure, so fast,
They’ll say your plan was doomed to past.
And he, from his own distant place,
Pretends to love with tender grace,
But pieces missing, small and few,
Are all the love he’ll give to you.

So don’t rush forth, just take it slow,
The road ahead has far to go
