Life is much real without love.
You can feel it, touch it and decide
what's good and bad for you
unlike when you're in love
from beginning till the end
endlessly.
Love takes you away from you
somewhere to a place
where no friend can
truly reach to help you
to bring you back
to your true orbit of life.
The worst of it is,
it leaves you nowhere
alone in a desert deserted.
only if you can manage
to thrive alike a cactus,
may be there comes a day
when you feel,
love is not bitter alone
may be then you will
write a poem on love
which everyone will
but you appreciate.
And defying
openly regretting
when you're all alone
will say to yourself
"Love costs too much'.
