Yesterday's heartaches fade away, but their memories tend to stay. And though love has no guarantee, it's the key to setting you free. Clinging to unreconciled fears, you blame fate for your years of tears. And erect emotional walls, discouraging love when it calls. You choreograph every move as if love had something to prove. And when fear denigrates your mood, you get defensive and unglued. And should your hopes drop to zero, don't pose like the wounded hero. Learn to give as well as receive; recognize truth, and not deceive.
