Love can move mountains, And impair one's judgements Make you soar high like a bird Or so in tales, I've seen and heard. Been watching cheesy romcoms Couples dancing in balls and proms Read lots about love at first sight Thinking this is bogus at its height. Ridiculing lovers on one hand While secretly wanting one so grand Hoping to someday find my mate Not knowing I'd be in this state. Cut to a million odd years later, A few ounces of wisdom greater Happened to be, by a chance so grim, Of this menacing love, another victim. In a place, so habitual and familiar Your absence made me feel peculiar So lost and empty, surprising me Yearning to just up and flee. But now that you are here with me I'm appalled at how this came to be For what was once a land unknown Is slowly starting to feel like home.
