Love did not come knocking on my door
Asking my permission to enter my heart
And live there rent free  
By pushing other occupants out.
If it had, I probably would not have allowed it.

Love did not come asking my permission,
To allow you in my life and in my thoughts.  
It just entered my mind like a wild fire,
started  destroying my other thoughts
And monopolized my life.

No, I did not have any say in this
Whole business, else
I would have researched, as usual,
And done a thorough thinking
Using my logic and reasoning;
And, I’d still be free of all this pain.
