Analysis of Duality
Love without obsession is futile
But would it be considered love or lust
Love would have an early death without trust
And trust would have to be earned for a long lasting love
Most people are scared to love
Because most people are scared to trust
What could you say to make me stay
Could you guide my hand and show me the way
Down the path that I believe to be true
Towards a love that always feels new
And with you by my side I won’t ever have to hide
As we learn to love and trust, side by side
