Does love feel like pain?

How do you know you love someone?

Is it really when there’s pain?

Or is that just some way to make you care…

When it goes away?

How do you know you love someone?

Is it when the water stops flowing…

In a waterfall that was endless

And you realize the ending?

How do you know you love someone?

Is it when it feels real?

Why do horror movies instill fear?..

A visceral appeal…

How do you know you love someone?

Is it more than care?

Is it still transactional?

Pray for the interhealing fare?

How do you know you love someone?

Is it when you’re willing to fight?

To fight and kill for territory

In a circumvented hell?

How do you know you love someone?

Is it when you decide to die…

Die to yourself… die to your pride…

And fix the patterns of this life?

I don’t want a kind of love…

That is verified by pain…

But I am not prepared to give up…

I need to find THE WAY.
