The Deception of Love

When I first met you
I was in awe
My heart was open and exposed

You seemed so special and unique
And you were everything I seek

We could communicate with our eyes
And our emotions could not disguise

I felt so safe and so complete
And my heart throbbed with every beat
We were connected on all levels
And in our devotion we would revel

But was it all a great illusion
Did I assume a wrong conclusion

Was it all wrong
Was it a huge lie
On misconceptions I relied

Why did you change
Or was that you
All that confusion
I went through

Sometimes love is not what it seems
And it beguiles us like dreams

Don’t let this enormous feeling scare you
Don’t let false promises despair you
When love arrives
It will not leave
And you will never be deceived
