Do We Ever
Do we ever see beyond cupid's arrow?
after the potion sinks in can we
really differentiate from the shallow thoughts?
When we fall out of love do we realize
what is really being lost?
Does a physical attraction
bring in an end to a friendship
that would've been epic?
when the feeling is platonic
why are there so many skeptics?
I wonder now why we liked each other?
does falling in love take away
from really getting to know one another?
It's when I stopped loving you
that I realized we never
could have even been friends
divorce is bitter til the very end
I lost myself in you
and you lost yourself in me
but we were never completely
whole people separately
do we ever take the time
to let love simmer down
just for a second so we
can see who we really have around?
