Falsifiability: "the capacity for some proposition, statement, theory or hypothesis to be proven wrong".

Hypothesis: "I cannot be loved."

To love or not to love
I do not let myself be loved
If you do not love me, I will say
'I completely understand sir, have a great day!'

However, one day I was giggling with a friend, and I noticed I was wary
I could not understand
How she could love me so effortlessly

I did not trust it
I did not believe
That anyone could love me This much
Shé must be very naive

Maybe Karl Popper was on to something
And Stephen Chbosky was too

"We accept the love we think we deserve"
