Do you remember how it felt to fall in love?

That person who captured your heart,

You were always thinking of.

There was also the feeling of butterflies in your stomach

Because you were suddenly so heart struck

That these feelings had always stuck

And you were so excited to see them each day with any luck.

That is because they would cause your heart to race

Every time you would meet.

Sometimes it made you lose your appetite

Because you were just too excited to even eat.

This person made you feel

As though your life was now more complete.

You didn’t even care how the other person’s hair looked

Or even how they dressed

Because there was such inner beauty that they had possessed.

There are times though that these feelings may fade away

And some instead of working on their relationships,

They choose to just throw them all away.

This makes some people afraid to fall in love

Because of the fear that this love will not stay

And for some this is too risky for them to have to pay.

Sometimes we need to take those risks

Even though our hearts could get broken someday;

For if we choose to just sit back

We will be forever and sadly alone

And our hearts will never be able to mend

Because our loneliness would have just grown;

Love is worth taking the risk

Because the feelings shared

Are worth all the joys,

And happiness that is produced

As it gives your life a sudden great big boost;

There is nothing in life that can be ever compared

Because it is just great knowing

That someone out there truly does care.

When you finally do find that kind of love,

Hang on to it

Because true love such as this

Is a treasure to be cherished, as it can be especially rare.
