The truth about love is that it has a mind of its own

hiding round corners, pretending not to be home

then just when you thought it would not knock on your door

it reminds you what your doorbell is for.

The truth about love is that it has no edges

no fences restrain it, or walls or hedges

it can begin without warning and forever stay

as it doesn't leave or arrive in a conventional way.

The truth about love is that it cant be bought or sold

it may happen between friends and take years to unfold

it may enter strangers hearts at whim

leaving quickly, with only a trace that its been.

The truth about love is that it never hurts, despite rumor

it does though, often have, an incredible humour

it can feed a tired soul and watch it grow

and forever stay in the afterglow.
