Fell In Love, Sort Of

I fell in love was it chance was it a twist of fate Looked into her eyes and fell in love I fell in love as I saw it thought it would be a made for TV movie sitting in the audience watching the actors wishing I was one of them I fell out of love as she saw it Love was supposed to be a song a gold record but she didn't buy it and fell out of love as she saw it Looked into her eyes and I saw a storm Holding onto lightning as the thunder got louder and louder When human nature collides with artificial love the fantasy melts Looked into her eyes and saw disappointment and sadness Holding grudges for a reason or no reason sucking it in like a vacuum cleaner never cleaning the clogged filter My song was a pop song a one hit wonder once it left the charts I was done I hear footsteps following me only shadows are dancing The unwelcome song starts and stops inside my brain And all I can do is dodge my past as the music becomes louder and louder and hope for a twist of fate Frank (Black) Blacharczyk

Love is a learning process and differs for all of us. Those we love may stay, leave or die.but we promote this bizarre idea that it lasts.. Congrats on winning.in Eve’s contest! Pangie.
