Why Do We Fall In Love

Why do we fall in love? 
What is the point? 
Is it that we feel 
The need 
To be one with someone 
Other than ourselves 
Do we feel the need 
To share 
Ourselves, our dreams 
Our needs, our fears 
With someone 
We barely even know? 

Well it’s time to show you 
How much I want to know you 
Let’s take some time 
To unwind 
Let me share my dreams 
Let you fulfill my needs 
Let me share my fears 
Let you wipe my tears 

What’s the point? 
Do we need someone 
To touch, someone to love, 
Someone to fill out lives 
With sunshine? 
Why do we fall in love? 
What is the point? 

Do we want to give our 
Hearts away 
Only to have them 
Given back to us 
But broken? 
We think love 
Can cure all 
That it’s the 
Magic potion 
Something soothing 
Like hot lotion 
Let me put that vision 
Into focus 

Love does not cure all 
It’s a game 
It’s a test 
Its supposed to put people at their best 
And we all learned not to settle 
For second best 
Nothing less than what we expect 
And life is supposed to prepare us 
For things we are to encounter 
Its like the game of love does not 
Guarantee that you will live happily ever after 
But what does that even matter 
You’re not listening to what I’ve said 
You’re sleeping on the words that I’ve spoken 
But these words you should treat as a magic potion 
It could help you when you’re going through the motion 
Of falling in love 
Now stop and ask yourself 
Why do we fall in love
