Love is all you need
are words, that used to once ring true
but now it seems real love has died
through hypocrisy and abuse
It seems the world has changed its mind
loves meaning has been replaced
by actions far less virtuous
fueled by, greed and lies and hate
Everyone is out for themselves
there’s no love for one another
people lie and cheat and break our hearts
and move on to their next lover
And it makes me sad to think about
just how quickly we regressed
to think that love is just a game
has made me so depressed
I think back to the days of old
when love was pure and true
when eyes were the windows to the soul
not a gateway to abuse
Well, perhaps I am a different breed
born of a different time
because love is not a conquest to me
it is innocent, pure and divine
The world won’t change my views on love
my ideals are honest and strong
love is not a game to me
and I will not be a pawn
While everyone, is armed with knives
to stab each other’s backs
My heart remains, my weapon of choice
and that is just a fact
You can call me old school
you can call me, what you will
but love, will never be a way
for me to get cheap thrills
Love is patient, kind and beautiful
and its power, should be revered
it should never be the monster
that so many grow to fear
Love should be, the smile on your face
just hearing your lovers voice
Love should be the happiness, you both feel
in which you should rejoice
Love should be filled, with honesty
on which your lover can depend
Love should be ocean waters deep
in which you see no end
Love should be, the rush you feel
when you touch your lovers hand
Love should be, the spice in your life
when the rest of your world is bland
Love should be, the anticipation you feel
when your lover gets home from work
Love should be the medicine, that we use to heal
that our lovers provide, when we’re hurt
Love should be sitting, next to your lover
just happy to be there together
Love should be, just as strong in the storm
as it is during sunny weather
Love should be the jokes, you laugh at together
that only your lover knows
Love should be, the song in your heart
that you and your lover composed
Love should be the longing, you feel in the air
when your lover and you, are apart
Love should be the fuel, your lover provides
to ignite, the passion within your heart
Love should be the faith, that seems to be missing
when the stars are perfectly matched
Love should be, an unbreakable bond
in which there are no strings attached
Love should not feel like a job, you see
it should be lovers, who walk life together
and no matter how bumpy, the road may get
true lovers, will make it forever.
