Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the morning. Ignore the pain. Live, Laugh, Love. Forgive and Forget. Life&#039;s too short to be living with regrets.<br /> Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn&#039;t be done. Amelia Earhart

You claim you don’t feel pain,

I do.

You claim you like being alone,

I don’t.

You claim you can’t be hurt,

I can.

You may be all rough, impenetrable edges,

But I’m not.

I’m naive and trusting.

Easily taken advantage of,

easily let down,

easily hurt.

Girl’s hearts are fragile,

handle with care.
