I dare you to

break my heart.

But to break it you must

know about it.

 

I dare you to

crush my dreams.

But to crush them you must

comprehend what they mean to me.

 

I dare you to

end my smiling. 

To end them you must

discover what makes me fill with joy.

 

See to break me

you have to,

love,

understand,

and truly know me.

 

So pardon my skeptisim 

when I know your love is but a game.
