TRYING AGAIN

Being betrayed by someone you love,
is awfully hard to take.
Your heart, your soul, your will to care,
all at once they break.

You think you'll never again want to know,
just how it feels to care.
You look at the pain and grief it's caused,
and think you wouldn't dare.

But without pain, you'd have no way,
to judge just how good you feel.
Each smile, each kiss, each gentle caress,
would not feel quite as real.

For in order to know when things are good,
we must know when they're bad.
If we're to understand the meaning of happy,
we must also learn about sad.

But no matter how hard it seems at times,
you mustn't lose the will to try.
Although sometimes, when things are bad,
you think you'd rather die.

You never know who you might meet,
or when, or how, or where.
But you'll know when it feels just right,
and happiness again you'll share.
