What's This Thing Called Love?


I hold my breath so you can't hear
My thumping heart when you get near
I act nonchalant to hide my fear
But when you leave there falls a tear
What's this thing called love ?

Then we started this dating game
Affairs went and affairs came
Raging passions, raw and untamed
Wild lustful sex, who was to blame
What's this thing called love ?

Marriage vows, we proceed to share
To love, to honour, to forever care
For some of us, it's a union so rare
For others, an utter nightmare
What's this thing called love ?

From babies to adults, the joy and the pain
To school, tuition, camps, parties. Oh, the strain!
Fights! Love! Laughter! Tears! Tantrums! It's insane!
No! Wouldn't trade it for ANY worldly gain!
What's this thing called love ?

The have gone; life is such
At home alone, your hand I clutch
In our hearts we don't ask for much
Only that they remain in touch
What's this thing called love ?

Parting is sweet sorrow, some day you'll be gone
The emptiness numbing, the loneliness, forlorn
Around my heart, your memories shall adorn
Patience, sweetheart. I will soon be along
Is this what you call love ?

p.s.
Darn ! Can anyone love more than once ?
By the way, have you called your parents ?

hi lee
of course its ok to love more than once. that doesnt mean you forget the one you once loved. its the time you spent with him/her that matters most. we all go through the same rituals of living and loving. the learning never stops...it never will until our last breath. {{HUGZ}}

Thank you Maynilabelle and thank you flakes. Glad you like it. Oh, where does the both of you come up with all those quotes ? And, have you called your parents ?
