Love lessons

Hold on to love 
For it is the only sweetest thing to ever have
'Cause to have someone to think of when you are so far away in the thick bushes of life,
Sounds appealing and soothing
Like a song that lulls a child to sleep

But hold on to love loosely
So that when it grows wings and flies away,
It doesn't do so painfully
For love is like a dosage of paracetamol
Flip it and you will see the expiry date and batch number on it's behind,
They say a woman is like a cob of maize for any mouth that has teeth

He who plants a maize field by the roadside
And he that marries a beautiful woman share the same problem

He that kills himself for love does not know the road to the liquor store

Learn to love loosely so that when the time comes for love to escape 
You don't get to admire the network mast
Nor the rope that forms a noose

Love loosely
