Why Can’t Love Just Flow Like A River

Why can’t love just flow like a river

Organically going like a giver

The wind moves within it and it gushes

It finds an outlet and it rushes

It bears no bounds, has no rules and never stops

Not like a mathematical formula or something you find in a shop

That tells you not to say what you feel

Or to wait so you don’t show too much like an onion that’s lost its peel

To keep your appeal

You can’t be real

Be quiet an play hard to get

To wait for three days before you say hello again less you forget

No

Love should flow like a river on the go

It goes over any obstacles

Carves pretty curvatures into the earth and makes beautiful spectacles

Takes along with it whatever it can

And breaks down whatever is in its way if it can

True love is like a river

Bite it, chew it, swallow it, savor it and be a believer

Never stopping
