Be Brave

Be brave enough to love,
more than you ever loved yourself.
By putting someone else first
you learn to forget yourself,
and all the problems,
you keep carrying around.
It is the other at number one,
that allows you to breathe,
and to learn how to trust,
humanity all over again,
after life came crashing down.
Be brave enough to love,
because not everybody is the same,
and the next person you meet,
could feel the same way about you,
putting you first in all you do.
So, be brave to take that step,
to give love without asking it back.
