"When In Love"
When in love, one has no fears,
Because someone will be there to hold them near.
When in love, one feels lots of joy,
And won't make another's feelings some little toy.
When in love, one feels no pain,
And sometimes they may act like they are insane.
When in love, one isn't threatened by any harm,
Because they'll always have someone to extend an arm.
When in love one, does no wrong,
Because deep down inside they have to be strong.
So as you can see love gives one many different emotions,
Just like they were showered down with lots of love potions.
So if you ever fall in love,
And it's sweet just like a dove.
Make sure the person is right,
And won't take your feelings for spite.
Love can be mean or nice,
So before you fall in love please try to think twice.
