people who say love is a real thing lie
you don't fall in love
you simply notice them more than others
I had to grow up fast
learn the way of the game
love doesn't exist
Love is an illusion of the mind
It taunts you, plays with your head
you think you understand love
but love is a shapeshifter
you hope to tame it
but love is untamable
you want to be their only love
but love doesn't pick just one
