I have heard
Time and time again
Once you fall in love
It all falls into place
But that has not proven to be true
No
I have heard
Time and time again
Once you fall in love
You can stand the tests of time
But that has not proven to be true
No
I have heard
Time and time again
Once you fall in love
The whole world will cheer you on
But that has not proven to be true
No
I have heard
Time and time again
Once you fall in love
Two hearts become one
But this has proven to be true
I know
I know because when I laid my head on his chest
I felt the beating
And the beating matched with mine
And the blood flow combined
And the souls began to intertwine
We were a burning ember that grew into a forest fire
The two hearts made one
They were powerful
They were strong
They were in love
Like oil on metal to stop it from rusting
Like gears in the clockwork to keep the hands turning
Like wheels on a car to keep moving forward
These hearts were a machine
But what happens when a part breaks?
And the metal rusts
And the gears get stuck
And the car won't drive
When he began to destroy his body
To destroy his heart
It destroyed mine
Because they are one
When the chemicals run through our combined blood
When the souls began to get angry and hurt
When his heart struggles to beat
So does mine
When it goes through his body
Enters into mine
When it goes through my body
Enters into his
And my soul
Suffers from collateral damage
Suffers from fear and concern
Suffers from envy and angst
But this is not my true soul
Because when the chemicals end
And the blood runs normal
And the machine begins to work
And the ember spreads back into a forest fire
My soul is full
My soul is pleased
My soul is now intoxicated with passion
The search for fulfillment
Can be found
In the mysteries
In the excitement
As I pray
The chemicals never again go through him
Never go through me
The thought of our ember dying
Makes me weak at the knees
Makes my gut wrench
Makes my hands shake
Learning from our faults
Guiding a lantern through the dark tunnels we enter
Correcting the miscalculatoins
Will bring together
Those two beating hearts
Matched one
Because I fell in love
With falling in love
With him
