Love Or Chocolate

Why would I want to be in love?
It makes you sweat, overheat, 
And hyperventilate. 
It creates major heart issues 
That stay with you for years.
It costs too much money 
When you try to keep it with you.

But why would I want to be in love
When I could have chocolate?

Why would I want chocolate?
It makes you feel wonderful
And stimulates happiness.
It creates an environment of relaxation
That will get you through the day.
It costs only one dollar and 
Stays with you for as long as you want.

So, why would I want to be in love,
When I could have chocolate?

I think that many people have pondered this question...I have. As a fellow chocoholic, I commend you on this write.
