Don'T Fall In Love (If You Belong To Someone Else) Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Don't fall in love
If you belong to somoene else

You thought you knew lonliness
You thought you knew pain
You thought you knew sadness
And everything about Love In Vain

All you thought you knew
You had to painfully learn again
Reminded that nobody loved you
That on nobody you could really depend

And just when by chance you felt romance
Thought somehow you found your destined twin
You found abandonment and silence all over again
And in the end they wouldn't take your heart in

The one you thought understood you and would always understand
The one you thought would always hold your heart and your hand
In the end, on them you couldn't depend
They really weren't your long-lost friend

Now the only thing you could ponder, to muster a melancholy laugh
Is the thought you knew all of love..but you never really knew even half
Now you hide your heart away and dream of an unlikely someday
For a love story to fall into your lap, rescue you from the dues you pay

Don't fall in love if you belong to someone else
