Double Trouble: Falling in Love with Two



A heart divided, caught between two
 Two loves, two passions, what to do?
Each one unique, each one true
 Falling in love with two, oh what to pursue?

One may be kind, gentle, and sweet
 The other bold, passionate, and complete
 Both fill the heart, with love and care
 Leaving one wondering, which to declare.

How can one choose, between two loves?
When each feels right, like a hand in a glove
 One may have history, the other new and fresh
 How to choose, without making a mess?

The heart wants what it wants, it's true
 But what if the heart wants both, in lieu?
 It's a challenge, a puzzle to solve
 Which love to choose, which one to dissolve?

In times like these, it's best to take time
 To explore each love, to feel the sublime
 To understand the heart, and what it needs
 To find clarity, and act on what it heeds.

Falling in love with two , is not a crime
But it's important to be honest, and not mime
 Be upfront, be transparent, and be true
 To the ones you love, and to yourself too.

In the end, only one can be chosen
 A decision that may leave hearts broken
 But to love and to be loved, is a gift to behold
 To cherish and nurture, and forever hold.

Falling in love with two, may seem a feat
 But with love and compassion, it can be sweet
 To find one's heart, and follow its lead
 To find true love, and plant its seed.
