Is it love, that says you can’t?
You can’t go away,
You can’t see that guy,
You can’t leave me here.
Is it love that says you must?
You must stay with me,
You must sleep with me,
You must love only me.
Or is it love that says you may?
You may go away
You may see that guy
You may sleep with me
And is it love that says you can?
You can be better than me
You can fly to higher planes
You can find peace elsewhere
You may and you can
And when you do
My ego will cry with sadness
But my heart will cry with joy
All I ask is
Don’t forget me
I am part of your life
And will always be
My heart will share your joy
My heart will share your pain
And my heart will die happy
If it can say that, just passing through
It made your life a little better.
That is what love is.
