You know Quirky
As much as love can suck - romance makes it all the more sweeter. I'm sorry to hear about the ups and downs - but as an individual, only you can control when it starts and stops - even if at times you wish it would just stop being so crazy. Enjoy life for what it has to offer and just bitch about it when its not going right! Take care.

The worst that can befall,

Is happier thousandfold than one,

Who never loved at all..

When at first the suitor does not fit,

discard him before further damage is done.

It would be nice to read the textbooks before we got thrown these sort of lessons....

Taps,

This was more than a lesson
It was a degree course. I won't ask why because everyone would handle such a thing diffferently

I can relate so much to your story that it hurts to read it.  Much love to you.

Quirky - A fickle man this knight. He is not worthy of you.
