8 Rules of Love (only?!): How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go ... and GO, and GO, and Go ... poem by Stefano Donno

Eight rules of love, a guide to find,

A heart that's true, and peace of mind,

A journey worth taking, step by step,

To find the love that makes us freer than we've ever been.

 

First rule, believe, have faith in love,

For it's the magic from above,

That brings us joy and happiness,

And fills our hearts with tenderness.

 

Second rule, be open to new,

Embrace the change, see what's true,

For love can come from unexpected places,

And bring new meaning to our lives and spaces.

 

Third rule, let go of fear and pain,

And trust that love will come again,

For every heartache leads to growth,

And helps us find what we're seeking, both.

 

Fourth rule, be kind and understand,

For love requires a gentle hand,

To nurture and to guide it through,

And bring it to a brighter hue.

 

Fifth rule, communicate with care,

And listen well, be always there,

For love depends on open hearts,

And honest words to play their parts.

 

Sixth rule, respect each other's space,

And give the room to grow in grace,

For love requires space to flourish,

And grow into a bond that nourishes.

 

Seventh rule, be patient, hold on tight,

For love will weather every night,

And bring new light to every day,

And guide us to a brighter way.

 

Eighth rule, let go when it's time,

And trust that love will always shine,

For every love must come to an end,

And make room for a love that's truer, and friend.

 

These are the eight rules of love,

A guide to find, keep, and let it go,

For love is the greatest gift of all,

And brings us closer to each other, big or small.
