A Rational Man

I'm a rational man 
But I'm in deep,
She was there in my head
And I just couldn't sleep.

Long hours without her
I found hard to bear,
Every cell in my body
Just wanted her there.

That first flush of love
Sends all reason awry,
My heart, it grew wings
And just took to the sky.

So I gladly surrendered
For love holds the key,
It unlocks the path
To our heart's destiny.
