Love, Upfront.

They say it takes two hands to clap.
But don't believe the myth that it takes two to love,
Even though it is sent from the person above.
If you could see it the way I do,
Love's handed straight up, right down to you
See, it's definitely possible to be a one way thing
Otherwise none of us would attempt to fling

Two people in love,
Someday they'd probably love each other
Understand that the meanings they carry differ
To actually distinguish them is even harder
I'm in no position to judge anyone as a lover
I'm not trying to mess with terminologies either
Just raising awareness, hoping no one else's insides have to suffer

To fall in love doesn't take much effort
To fall out of it could probably hurt
Learning to love could be a short-term plan
But to sustain the love, you gotta know where you stand.
No one wants to posses Macbeth's love that's damned
Neither do you want erosion cos you'd only love like a friend
But there's no way to know if the love you give is what you get in the end.

It takes two, yes, to make it work
But it only takes one to realize whether to pursue.
You go cracking your brain to decide on an issue
That's decipherable without saying, "Oh it's just..you"
You don't realize it's exhausted & has reached its due
Then he decides to leave & you start to fume.
Cooling down thinking tomorrow he's back in your room
Girl, I'm telling you now, don't try to assume.

Love isn't said just so you hear
Love isn't made just so you'd stay near
Love isn't seen just so you don't fear
Love isn't written to be defined by the books
Love isn't kept to be confined & in danger of hooks
Love is an expression that can be defined & channeled by the person who posesses it.
Love is timeless & effortless, running through our veins as we live through every day being the day, every hour being the hour, every minute being the minute & every second being the second.
Love is a feeling that you can't help but embrace cos that's just how every one of us functions.
