LOVE-TIE

That is a string you see
No no, not a rope,its a string
you don't hang on to it, you do that to ropes
strings are fragile, you don't even hold on
you just tug at it
so you see, you have to handle it gently
and do you know what can keep it strong?
be the layers of fiber on it?
There is one that of trust
it lays at the core
holding the string strong
and it can be blinding you know
the trust
it develops over time, and yet
 it is fragile too.
If mishandled,
it snaps right back at you
and all the years that weaved it
they turn into shards in a blink
So you must keep it strong
And then there is respect
Big word eh? 'Respect'?
It comes with admiration
you don't just have to love
you must respect, 'cause if not given
 the loved one doesn't feel loved
and then she can never be brought back
mind it my friend, never 
'cause she is gone and vanished
and the string is now broken
you keep extending your arms out
while she, never comes back
and your arms remain empty
forever.
Maybe, she has died.
