I am afraid of Love
"How outrageous", my lady said out of shock
"Love is beautiful, Love is profound"
Have you ever been in love? She asked

I smiled bitterly...
"I have", I replied
Love broke me apart my lady
Shattered me and thrashed my pieces in the sea

My lady laughed beautifully
"You can't be serious, Marie"
Love gives you butterflies
Love makes you feel all mushy and jelly

Ohhh, Just like Sir Henderson treats you, I said
"Exactly, He makes me feel alive"
That's love Marie
It's a beautiful feeling

Then what went wrong with mine, My lady?
Salim lied to me
His lies were like swords stabbing me from behind
He cursed me whenever I was away
He cheated on me with my best friend my lady

Turning away as the memories begins to flood in making my eyes water and my heart ache
"Some men are beast, Marie"
Not worthy of love nor to be loved

You have to look a little bit closer then you see those who loves you really
Mmm, Just like how Andrew is in love with ya
But you are so blind to see it
Poor soul!

My goodness my lady!
Andrew doesn't love me
I am his friend and that's all
He doesn't look at me that way

Well well well!
Tell that to the chickens and I believe they will snicker at that crap

How do I look closer My lady?

That's for you to find out and for me to enjoy the view, replied my lady with a smirk on her face

Love has found you Marie
Don't push it away.
And she walked away allowing me to wallow in my thoughts
Love has found me.
