Research Stage of Love
I haven’t been held in a while
I’m needier now than I was last Spring
my imagination has chosen a lover
My hopes are too high I still let the feeling come
when my hopes get too low I trust I’ll let the feeling go
I’m in the research stage of love assessing what is possible
The potential for lasting affection is as great
as the potential for crushing rejection
my heart is so gullible, ignorant and vulnerable
and although I’m aware of the risks
I’m committed to following it
trying my best to give in to it
I’m committed to my heart
