Chapter 39 - A Heart so Ignorant and Unaware

To me, love had always been something to look for

'Tis coveted; a necessity, a possession

Been to bars, tried my luck in downtown parties

Met with strangers in hopes of ending up with rings

My enthusiastic heart falls so easily

Kept searching for the one I'm destined to be with

Simple gestures of kindness are always confused with that of love,

for I was often deprived of it

Countless inevitable heartbreaks have passed

I am done with the knocking on steel gates and doors closed

I'll just do what I love and pursue my passion

I'll allow myself to be found, this time with a mended soul.
