LOVE WITH REASON

LOVE WITH REASON


True, I don’t show you my love
And don’t make promises.
True, I don’t praise you sky-high.
I tell truth as it is.

It’s true that I love you much,
But this is also true:
I can’t say that in the world,
There’s nothing except you.

My world has knowledge, wisdom,
Feelings and emotions.
It has hate, anger, greed, fear
And romantic notions.

My love for you is quite deep
But I can’t truly say
That, of you only I think
Throughout the night and day.

I won’t like to lie to you
As we start this friendship.
It’s better to know the wine
Ere we take the first sip.

As I say I do love you,
Let me acknowledge this
I don’t believe in blind love.
Love with reason is bliss.
