love is never as simple as yes or no
No matter what they try to tell you
children write notes back and forth
do you like me? check the box send it
we can meet at recess or share a walk home
until my friends tell me that you are yucky
and then thats the end of you
love is never the way the song says it will be
opening your heart to someone takes courage
and most of us grow up in fear
of being hurt, of choosing the wrong one
of giving ourselves away to easily
afraid to look the fool we'll hold back
until the one that got away gets away
and then we can never get it back
spend the rest of our time trying to recreate
trying to find that feeling that spark we once had
and let it slip away sand thru our fingers
love isnt like the movies
it almost never happens at first sight
it almost always starts out physical
two bodies attract like iron and magnet
drawn together til there's contact
passion springs from lust
in the aftermath that your heart decides
Love isnt like fairy tales
there's no fair godmother sprinkling magic
no glass slipper to show the one for you
no cursed apples for a prince to save you from
just frail egos drifting in the same sea of people
hoping to wash up on the same shore
with someone they are attracted to
Love isn't like television
Soap Operas make love and marraige disposable
Almost as dramatic as the real thing
Without all the reality to think about
No mortgages to worry about bills to pay
Wondering how this will affect the kids
And they never seem to notice
Always happy to see their parent never resentful
Where's the lasting pain that failed love brings
This is a first draft...constructive critizism please...

Great!
I would suggest taking a look at it and adding a rhyme scheme or something to give it a nice flow, but if this is your style, then I wouldn't change a thing! Great job, and keep on writing!!

Thanks for the comments. I usually try to avoid rhyming, if it happens, it happens. Thanks again though.
