Love; It's one of those things where if you have it You know it for sure And if you're not sure, you don't A while ago I gave up on love Because every time I got it, and thought I had it Some one very close to me came and took it away And I am left without it At first I was doing well I would not fall for it I would see a nice guy, but would not buy it Or, a boy would like me, but I'd avoid it But now I've fallen in to it, the well of love Oh, how deep is this well, with walls so wet I can't climb up At last I splash in a pool of water A pool of love And in this pool I'm drowning Now I am floating, flowing down a river I am spit out at an oasis, a beautiful oasis But now I'm breathing, even under the water And now I am swimming, I am in control I now see the way out, but I dare not go near it For it is a desert out there, dry and lifeless A desert with no water, no love This love, I feel it I know not if he knows it but I feel it It's warmth, it's life I want to surround myself in it I dare not lose it Too many times I have lost it It is mine! I will hold on to it No one will take it from me, lest they die! Now I believe in love And it's all thanks to him He unburied my love Now I love him #11_11/28/2011

Love; My Oasis in a Desert Place
Love; It's one of those things where if you have it You know it for sure And if you're not sure, you don't A while ago I gave up on love Because every time I got it, and thought I had it Some one very close to me came and took it away And I am left without it At first I was doing well I would not fall for it I would see a nice guy, but would not buy it Or, a boy would like me, but I'd avoid it But now I've fallen in to it, the well of love Oh, how deep is this well, with walls so wet I can't climb up At last I splash in a pool of water A pool of love And in this pool I'm drowning Now I am floating, flowing down a river I am spit out at an oasis, a beautiful oasis But now I'm breathing, even under the water And now I am swimming, I am in control I now see the way out, but I dare not go near it For it is a desert out there, dry and lifeless A desert with no water, no love This love, I feel it I know not if he knows it but I feel it It's warmth, it's life I want to surround myself in it I dare not lose it Too many times I have lost it It is mine! I will hold on to it No one will take it from me, lest they die! Now I believe in love And it's all thanks to him He unburied my love Now I love him #11_11/28/2011
Just when you think you're giving up on love, when you think there is none left for you. (and we're not talking about the gushy stuff)
