Why Does This Happen In Love

Why does this happen in love,

That the laughing heart also cries?

Why does this happen in love,

That the pain paralyzes the heart?

Why does this happen in love,

That every dream becomes heart of the enemy?

Why does this happen in love,

That the heart gets hurt by every arrow, every memory made?

Why does this happen in love,

That we become familiar strangers?

Why does this happen in love,

That never-ending tears don't let us sleep?

Why does this happen in love,

That words are lost somewhere on lips?

Why does this happen in love,

That the heart and the brain are at war?

Why does this happen in love,

That the ears have to become deaf to the heart's plea?

Why does this happen in love?
