HANDLE WITH CARE

I would not have asked for love again,
the loss of it always too painful to bear.
It comes in packaged like a hurricane,
and leaves me once I open and truly care.

Out of what is lost grows a love stronger,
I've come to find after much despair.
See that I can love again, and longer;
accept and give romance, but with care.
