“sometimes love doesn’t turn out the way you want sometimes there are tears sometimes there is laughter sometimes you have to let go to gain what you’ve always needed it wasn’t time it wasn’t right but it was good and i will learn to bandage my heart to tie up loose ends to be slow to speak slow to act i will remember that i am a prize to be won not an object to be glorified sometimes love doesn’t work the way you want but it always teaches you something and i’ve learned more than i ever thought i would”
