Seams Silly

I have given up; decided that I will be locked in a loveless life.
All the indicators made it clear that no other possibility existed.
My heart need to care, my arms must hold and my lips must kiss, but whom?
Then… my soul must love; my brain share thoughts with another.

I have heard of people claiming that love at first sight exists, but did not know it.
I have heard terms like, “knocking the feet out from under me”, but remained standing.
What is this thing of attraction that confuses the mind, body and soul so?
Surely they are mistaken; love-sick puppies exaggerating the condition.

No… I must admit that this was just an unexplained phenomenon to me.
People only love by choice, don’t they; isn’t it just an agreement of convenience?
I have felt silly about someone before, but it passed; soon as I realized she was human to.
What is so great about caring for someone you should not love?

Maybe I should come clean; I am just dramatizing, I do believe in love.
I believe in the way one goes all stupid about things, want to die of loneliness.
I know how the night is too long and the day to short.
I am familiar with the urge to through all one side, but not being able to do so.

Falling in love is the most awesome thing of this life, that and the birth of a child.
I dream of the day when I will meet someone I could fall in love with every day.
She will be sweet, then have somewhat of a sting… we’ll disagree and make up again.
She will be beautiful even when her hair is all wrong and makeup is gone.

I see this girl having a brain; have some sense to use it for good.
I see hundreds of men falling for her, but she remains mine.
I picture her so clearly; I could paint her picture and hang it on my wall.
It just seams so much quicker, to take a picture of you.
