Why Love

Why love? 
Why pay for what you have
And give out what you want?

Responsibilities you crave to incure
And your shoulder you’ll willingly spread
A care for a care you give to get
A smile for a smile you show to see
Emotions for emotions you feel to sense
A heart to a heart you connect to connect
A hug for a hug open arms of embrace
A kiss for a kiss, that’s a proof of intimacy
Two different hearts now bet as one

Such yoke two souls a merger
One falls the other drops
One’s tears the others sadness
One’s joy the others gladness
And when one fails a heart is broken
Only love can mend again

Love for love so cheap to bargain
Trust for trust so hard to batter
A trusting heart takes time to find a buyer
Yet don’t ask me ‘’why love’’
Falling in love needs no reason.
