I wasn't going to do this one so I went to do something else, and came back and started typing, and this is what came out.
Could be Country, Singer/Songwriter... anyway, it could use some music!
V1
I’ve been in love a time or two
And sometimes I’ve been hurt
And friends say to protect myself
In matters of the heart
But, in every way, it’s redefined
The person I’ve become,
I wouldn’t change a single thing
Or regret a single one.
Ch:
I hope I never learn
To hold my heart close to the vest
I hope I never learn
to give an ounce less than my best
Any chance that I am given
I’ll grab onto with both hands
I hope I never learn
I hope I never learn
V2
My first love was the hardest
To finally let go
My second love, I was the one
Who had to let him know,
My current love's the longest,
How long we've yet to see,
We remain the strongest
And what will be will be
Ch:
I hope I never learn
To hold my heart close to the vest
I hope I never learn
to give an ounce less than my best
And the chance I have been given
I’ll hold onto with both hands
I hope I never learn
I hope I never learn

This is great. Such a sweet sentiment put on a really cool way. The verses fit perfectly with a musical Idea I came up with yesterday, but the chorus isn't quite playing nicely yet. I may send you a note after FAWM to see if you want to work this up. Preferably with one of the talented lady FAWMers. :)

Your verses are very well put together so they match. Love the chorus. All in all well expressed.
@tunecat Feb 2022
The song has a lot about it - the hope I never learn idea is cool.
@corinnecurcio Feb 2022
