The road to love is very slippery
If you are not careful
You can slip-slide away
Attraction is often mistaken for it
Making a misery of life.
Infatuation is like an uninvited guest
Where your feelings may not be reciprocated
So, tread on this road carefully, my friend
If you have a fragile heart
Better you not venture on it.
But if you have a heart that is robust
Fearlessly embark on this road
A fall here, a fall there and a stumble
Will make life truly a worthwhile ride.

Never an expert but I have seen many a hearts break. Some bounce back, some don’t.
But this was a lighthearted take keeping in mind the prompts. ☺️
Whereas what you have written seems to be coming from an expert, in these days of social media. 😀

let me take a bow, in the context of social media.. instead of being humble like you. bouncy hearts are definitely great assets, especially if you planning the road trip.

You should take a bow!
Hearts are much maligned for their fragility, they are quite resilient and they all want to take the road trip.
Humble… no. Matter of fact… yes.
