I have never written a love song,
but, what if I did?
Would it  be a soft low melody?
Or a pop-like tune with a static key?

Would the lyrics flow, or make no sense?
Would I mention his name?
                                                -Please tell me it wouldn't be passed tense.

I think I'd make a note of, when or how,
we met.
Perhaps I'd even bring about what you said,
as if I could forget.

Now maybe if I wrote a love song,
it'd be something sweet and true.
But I highly doubt it,
it's something I couldn't do.

I don't mean to dwell on the opposite;
I bet love is as great as they say.
But I had always supposed that,
love was just not for me, and,
I'd be forced another way.

But perhaps a little spring of sudden thought
can be a revelation,
or perhaps a push to my step.

I never cared for rain nor wind,
but now these are my favorite things.
How could that be true?
I think I still hate the rain.

If I wrote a love song,
it'd probably be a farce.
I'd probably make up every line,
and make it sound so pretty.

But the truth is,
it's not pretty.
And it's not even so great.
To have this feeling that I hate.

So maybe I'll write a love song,
about not wanting to write that love song.
It might seem absurd, but it will be true.
I didn't want to write a long song about you.
