Love Is Actually Pathetic

Those who love know of the weakness in the knees
That comes from smiling eyes that have chosen you.
The shortness of breath when ones lover says, "please",
And the racing heart when one hears,"Yes, please do."
The world turns to chaos as time seems to freeze
And you look in the mirror and wonder "who".
Yes,love is pathetic, my friend, as you know -
It is for the young and we should keep it so!
