Common Wisdom

Common wisdom says you can love everyone
Common wisdom is wrong
Common wisdom says your heart will heal
And one day
Everything will be ‘OK’
Platitudes tell us
It’s better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I
I loved you
I LOVED you.
And you can’t love everyone
You can’t even love a lot
You can’t love everyone
But I loved you.
