I used too think the word was stupid That you should only show it instead And people only said it to get each other in bed. Meaningless and absence of it causing stress But now it's obvious That the word's stronger than a bus It stays the same but never weakens or rusts And it's not just a product of lust Because it's liberating To be feeling and be stating The status of your soul Defining the connection as a whole Giving it strength And extending it out to great lengths Chronologically it doesn't actually produce melancholy The word itself is lovely Now I see why I love the word And I'm forever grateful to the person who showed me
