Why am I searching for love
When it’s apparent
That love has never started searching for me
Why am I searching for love
Is it because I want it?
Or is it because it's what I think I want
Why am I searching for love
When as I look around
I see all of my close family and friends
Being hurt by this this...thing called “love”
Love is supposed to be gentle
Love is supposed to be sweet
Love is supposed to be kind
but love is really just like
A new video game
You see everybody else with it
So you want it too
You have to have it because it’s the latest trend
So you go out and you search all the stores
Finally when you're about to give up
You stumble upon the last store open that day
You go in and behold
They have exactly what you're looking for
So you buy it
You do a little more looking
And when you see nothing else that pleases the eye
You take your new game home
Once you get it home
You're so anxious to open it
You can barely contain yourself
You hook it up and plug in the TV
You've never had anything like this
So you're very inexperienced
You turn it on and it’s like magic
Fills the entire room
The home screen appears with the words
"press start" blinking across the screen
You press start
Nothing happens
You press it again
Still nothing happens
You press every button on the controller and finally the screen goes black
Phew, finally you're in
But still nothing happens
The screen is frozen and you don't know why
You hit the TV thinking that your problems lie there
Of course it’s the TV
The TV is very old
But the game is new so I know that's not the case
You hit the TV,
Shake the TV,
Unplug and plug the TV back in
Nothing happens
So you wait...
Still nothing happens
you’re beginning to get upset
why is this happening when this game is brand new?
I know this is my first time but it shouldn't be this difficult
it never appears this difficult for the others
Maybe I should read the directions
.......
There are no directions...
For no one knows the true outcome of this game we all call love.
Its the type of game where you just blue skidoo and jump in
You know where you're going but not what's going to happen
You predict you're situation by looking at others situation
But it doesn't work like that
For love...
is not a game.
