One Thing About Love

One thing about love
That I don't understand 
Is how it does what it does 
Without making special plans 

How it comes along 
Shows up at first sight 
Or arrives quite slowly 
Taking its own sweet time 

One thing about love 
Is it's high in demand 
And if it ever does get lost 
It can be found again 

Sometimes starts off easy  
As a simple thought 
Or leaves just as easy on a cold North wind 
Not counting out the cost 

One thing about love
Is it's learned how to bend 
Through all the mistakes and brakes it's made
That it's had to live  

Love can be frugal 
In the feelings that it likes 
Sometimes can be easy to read 
Most times harder to find 

One thing about love 
It knows how to make amends 
Whether as a lover 
Or a best friend 

Love takes it all with a grain of salt 
Adding to life it's spices 
Once love is out of the bag 
It's really hard  to hide it
