Rules of Love

Adam, tell the young petals to learn the rules of love before

falling in love deeply.

Before getting attached, tell them to understand the syntax of love language.

Because if they fall in love unknowingly, they are going to suffer.

Suffer eternally.

Burn in the fiery fire,

Then, live like ashes with burnt wounds and scars.

Tell them lovers suffer.

Notify them about the darkness ahead.

They won’t be able to sleep in long nights.

Tell them lovers who grow distant suffer,

Lovers who never reunite suffer,

Lovers who change lovers suffer,

Lovers who stay together apathetically suffer.

Lovers who separate suffer,

Lovers who are unequals suffer,

Lovers who are equals too suffer.

Tell them, love is an eternal journey of suffering.

Tell them not to fall in love without taking responsibility.

If they want to burn in this flame, tell them to be prepared.
