this is love?
this is what people die for? cry for? long for?
this is love?
this is what people beg for? lie for? crash for?

no.
this is not love.

love is supposed to be like coffee in the morning,
like the first sunshine after a week of rain,
like seeing your first sunset by the beach.

love is supposed to be beautiful, and light
it is supposed to be new, and fresh
it is supposed to be real, and true

no.
this is not love.
this is some lame excuse.

love is not supposed to be like hangover in the morning,
love is not supposed to be like losing your favorite hanky,
it's not supposed to be like getting the flu on your birthday.

no.
this is not love.
