Falling In Love - Back To Square One

Falling in love, "I love you".
Three magical words open a new world.

In childhood, an intrigue.
In adolescence, a fantasy.
In adulthood, a freedom of expression.
In middle age, a hope to live.
In old age, the reminiscence of youth.

First mum and Dad.
Then Brothers and sisters.
Then cousins, then friends, then others and others ...
And how many of them!
Oh when will it be my time...

And finally came my divine day
I lost count of everything...
I relish every seconds.
Repeated those fantastic words 
in different tune to different music.
But lo! the music stopped one gloomy day.

And then, so many times
was I to fall in and out of love.
As if there was nothing more important
to do in this whole world!
And great, this is where I never 
learnt a new lesson.

Every new time my 
counter is set to zero.
And here,  I'm back to square one...
I've fallen in love again!
