Analysis of Love is not A Belife



Love is not  a belief,
It's a moment, so live in the moment.

So once more
 I've become the fool
 that I know to well,
 And although I am a fool,
That you'll grow to know ,
The only thing worth knowing
You'll never know,
Because you broke my heart with this awful blow.

Maybe I'll cry,
Maybe I won't .

Maybe shake my head in disbelief,
Let out a sigh
A sigh of relief,
For the thought of love,
The love,
    That was once my belief.
