FALLACIES OF LOVE
I want you to make me happy.
We値l live happily ever after.
You will bless my nights with love,
And you will fill my days with laughter.
You are the lover of my dreams.
You can do no wrong, you are divine.
This is everything I致e always wanted.
This can only get better with time.
These are the fallacies of love
For those in love with being in love.
Our love will last forever,
Until death do us part.
I don稚 have to work at it.
I致e already won your heart.
We値l never be apart.
We値l do everything together.
I値l finally be secure.
You値l stay with me forever.
These are the fallacies of love
For those who fail to build upon love.
I知 going to make you love me.
I値l take good care of you.
I can build your self-esteem.
I know what you致e been through.
I can learn to love you.
You need love so badly.
We池e both grownups now.
I知 not marrying your family.
These are the fallacies of love
For those who confuse pity with love.
This time it will be different,
For I am old and wise.
I will always tell you the truth,
Except for little white lies.
I will never get mad at you;
I will hold it all inside.
I want what is best for you;
I will sacrifice my pride.
These are the fallacies of love
For those who never learn from love.
Taos, New Mexico, 1993
