No Strings Attached

Love, 
It can be your best friend
Sneak up on you and surprise you
Please you 
Misguide you
Confide and deny you 
Live and lie to you


Wherever you go
Tease you and please you
Make a slave of you 
Turn you inside out 
Never make you doubt

Love can destroy you 
in the best of ways
Bring you to the highest peaks
Or sink you low
Beneath its blue green waves


Tragic and romantic
The love you sew
Will be the love you reap
Love can curl your toes
Or break them and make you weep


Love is best 
When nurtured and grown
It can’t be forced or faked
The best kind of love is freely given
No strings attached 
When you send love into the world
And that love comes back.

Thanks Kim, for making my morning with this... Love really makes a fool out of us most times. But it's usually for a good cause, as far as we are fools for the people we love. Love's crazy... Laughs
