It all started at birth, in a bundle of cloth
A mother cuddling, never to let you fall
A father, holding his distance, scared to drop you
A world happy for another addition
That's love you can't escape.

They say it's contagious, I say it's carcinogenic
The more it grows, the more hurtful it becomes
You will always be like a fledgling bird
Once up there in the blue sky, coming down is always dangerous.
It breaks your wings before you land.

When you are hunting for love, you think you got it,
Love may never hurt again, just wishful thinking.
No amount of guile can spare you the pain
It becomes more and more incessant with every experience
No hubris, can take away the place of love.

The moment you meet it, you know its love
True love is at first sight, it is so imperious,
You will always know when you miss it,
Cause forever it will always be in your heart,
It is so luminous even at a distance
That is how good and bad love is.

When it's all over, you wonder how you could avoid
Another heartbreak, another falling in love
You swear, you promise, that the next time will be the last
But you realize it is an odyssey
A pious journey that never ends, lasts forever
You keep hurting, but you keep holding on
That is love, when it touches your heart, never let’s go.

You give it all you have and all you can,
You hope you will get it back in the same pan,
But you realize it's not guaranteed, it's a scam.
Love is not encrypted on every heart
Givers are rarely takers, that's how much love hurts.

Losing love is like a window in your heart
So said Paul Simon, everyone sees the wind blow through.
Even those never in love before, they know the remedy
Just leave it they say, find you another love,
Of cause they never been in love like you been
Love that puts you in shackles, love that puts your heart in bondage.
