Art of Love
It’s joyful, it’s confusing
It saves, it hurts
It’s yearned, it completes
Everybody feels a part of love
An abstract thing, a ridiculous effect
A dangerous factor, the best aspect
A strange power, a simple reason
Everybody tries to describe love
Chemical pheromone or biological instinct
Physical attraction or inner beauty
Motherly affection or human compassion
Everybody tries to analyze love
Whether platonic, whether passionate
Whether forbidden, whether innocent
Whether possessive, whether unconditional
Everybody tries to classify love
Serenade song, cheesy poetry
Romance story, sweet memory
Signal lesson, magnificent proof
Everybody tries to talk about love
For money, for life
For peace, for strength
For momentary lust, for eternal happiness
Everybody needs the touch of love
At first sight or slow rate
Whether forced, whether willingly involved
At destiny time or playing around
Everybody tries to find love
With logic, with magic
With marriage, with denial
With protection, with manipulation
Everybody tries to control love
By the look, by the act
By the present, by the attention
By seduction, by sincerity
Everybody tries to gain love
Being a martyr, being an admirer
Being a friend, being an affair
Being a partner, being an enemy
Everybody tries to show love
