Love is a butterfly
Fluttering and colourful
Gentle and beautiful
But that is not all that there is
There’s also metamorphosis

For it starts off as an egg
A little seed in one’s heart

Then it grows into a caterpillar
And caterpillars must eat a lot
There’s a lot of struggle ahead
Much of which it knows not

The struggle is the pupa
Where the bond is molded with care
And when the pupa splits
There’s a butterfly in the air

Love is a seesaw
It gets you up, it get you down
It gets you high, it gets you low

Love is a seesaw
Every up is followed by a down
Every down is followed by an up
After every high, there will be a low
After every low there will be a high

Love is a seesaw
If you play with someone, well and good
If you play alone, you would always be down

Too small to be seen
Too complex to be understood
Yet too strong not to be felt
It is there all around us
It is what makes us
It is what keeps us going
It is in everything
It is everywhere
Without it, nothing is possible
Without it, we can’t be
Atoms are awesome
Love is awesome

Love is a rock
Made of solid gold
Too precious to let go
But also too heavy to hold

Love is that mother
Who taught me how to speak
Taught me how to walk, run and jump
Yet never to be weak

Love is that mother
Who read me stories till I slept
Tickled me till I could laugh no more
Wiped my tears when I wept

Love is that mother
Who woke up at midnight
To check my body temperature
When fever gave me a fright

Love is that mother
Who found sorrow in my sorrow
Happiness in my happiness
Promise in my tomorrow

Love is that mother
God’s purest form to see
Fills the gaps in this heartless world
Where God himself cannot be

Love is a dream
Fleeting and mysterious
Comes and goes at will
Where to? Where from? Nobody knows
How does it happen? Why does it happen? Nobody knows

Love is a dream
Hard to tell its purpose
Or the meaning behind it all
Is there a secret that we do not know?
Or does it hold no meaning at all?

Love is a dream
Transports you to a magical world
Where everything is to your liking
And it is your empire
But sometimes it puts you
In a ghoulish place
You feel like running away
But there is no escape

Love is a dream
Some last longer than others
But they all must end
Not to leave your side forever
But to come back stronger
Tomorrow again

Love is a chocolate
That you simply can’t resist
Maybe it’s the only reason
Why some of us exist

Love is a chocolate
Tingling at your senses
Assemble your finest army
It still penetrates defenses

Love is a chocolate
Makes everything else so pale
So rich in texture and universal
No comparison could prevail

Love is a chocolate
In each and every way
From the craving to the taste
What more is there to say?

Love is a virus
So easy to catch
Equally difficult to then
For one to unattach

It grows inside of you
Multiplies exponentially
No matter how hard you fight
You give in eventually

You refuse to get treated
You enjoy the pain, I’m sure
Even if you wish for help
There’s no one with a cure

Once you begin to host it
You will be changed somehow
You are left with no choice
You have to live with it now

Love is a window

Open it to welcome the bright sunshine of a smiling face
Close it to shield yourself from the rough winds of disloyalty

Open it to hear the chirps from the lips of a doting soul
Close it to keep the racket of expectations at bay

Open it to smell the fragrance hiding in a gentle caress
Close it to protect yourself from the foul smell of regret

Open it to love and lose and love and learn
Close it to never feel any kind of pain

Love is a hero
From a worn-out script
Smart, kind but flawed
With superpowers equipped
Starts off with a trouble
Often against a foe
But perseveres and fights
Against all odds or so
Along with the victory
He also finds a meaning
Of all that really is worth
Before the credits start screening
