Coin Side of Love

They said Love is sweet, I believed them

But I was never told Love had a sour taste underneath

They said Love would conquer all, I listened

But I was never told that Love also conquered sanity

They said Love is real, I understood

But I was never told Love was also a mirage that hoots

They said Love frees you, I believed

But I was never told that love binds you to your promises

They said Love is the strongest force

But they never said falling in love could lead to my downfall

They said Love is a bond, I did understand

But they never told me that with jealousy, it never stands

They said Love and Time heals, I listened

But they never said that "Hurt" might have me as its victims

Love is the most beautiful thing, they said

But I was never told it could lead to an ugly scenario

Trust your heart not your head in Love, they said

But never said I would need my head when my heart was in trouble

They said love brought forth countless joy

But I was not of the knowledge that tears were inevitable

First rule of love is "do not be jealous", they preached

But I realized Love and Jealousy was the total package

You would find the "right" girl, I was told

But I was never told the right girl may have "Left"

When you are in love, you will know, they said

But I was never told that knowing you're in love gave birth to heartaches

But all in all, I'm prepared for when love comes

It might have already hit me once or twice

Suddenly bringing forth emptiness and nothingness

But I believe when, My Lady, all fair and pretty drives by

All "They" said would come true in a flash of light

But could it ever happen all the same?

Well, till then, I rather stick to the singles lane.
