Taught to love

There are two kinds of people on this earth

The ones born to love

And the ones taught to love

I was taught

I have always been able to see the world

In all its cruel clarity

In all it's sinister beauty

I hated the world

The black twisting vines of fate encased me

In my own pity and hate

The moment I was born

I already resented the world

I walked through life on my heels

My hand behind my back

Starring at the ground

Counting dead leaves

While others stared at the sky counting

Hopes and dreams

Like a light to bright to look at 

You shined through my flaws

As if to fill up the empty space inside me

With a radiant light and

Joy

Together we where like a sun shower

Or like a bittersweet chocolate

So to you

The one who shined a new world into my eyes

I thank you

Even when we parted

Leaving me with light sun burnt kisses

That soon faded away

Like the lasting winter within myself

I thank you

You taught me how to love
