Kissing you was a culture shock

When I was younger 

I was fascinated by space 

and I learned that 

inside a black hole 

time stops completely. 
Whether or not this theory 

will ever be proved, 

I'm moved to believe 

that this would be 

the perfect place 

to love someone 

or the worst place 

to lose them.
I'm still learning 

the difference between 

losing and being lost.
I guess I was hurt 

for so long that 

I've forgotten how to love. 

I got so used to the darkness 

that I was blinded by the sun.
I'm still learning 

the difference between 

falling in love and going mad.
I don't think we ever move on 

from the person we love. 

We simply get used 

to them not being 

around anymore.
I wanted a perfect ending. 

Now I've learned, 

the hard way, 

that some poems don't rhyme, 

and some stories 

don't have a clear 

beginning, 
middle 
or end.
