I'D Say I Do

The ordeal of love
Drops of pain
Tears of longing
And the terror of losing out
If love wasn’t born a fairy then why is it a son of adventure?
If ever it wasn’t built an empire why is it belong to paradise?
If ever it is set into emotions why does it go so cruel?
Why do we call it love while it has hidden claws beneath?
Teeth to bite and chew off the hopes of those who believe in it?
If love wasn’t born a fairy I’d be saying i do.

The ordeal of love
Broken puzzles of the heart
Challenges of life
And the struggle of letting go
If love wasn’t born an enemy why is it a daughter of wicked?
If ever it wasn’t piled in peace why is it falling in harmony?
Merciful love knows no evil but crawls to give birth to laughter.
Hence cruelty and hatred hate love and its fruits.
If love wasn’t born a fairy i’d be saying i do.

The ordeal of love
Whispers of anger
Flames of hunger
And torture of attachment
If love wasn’t born a liar why does it dwell in deception?
If it can really move the mountains why does it fails to shake the heartless?
Tearful love cries for the loved ones and it carries their weaknesses.
But ignorance craves to punish those who wish to be loved.
If love was a real song to be sang by the space birds
I’d be wishing to be one too.
Yes if love wasn’t born a fairy I’d be saying i do.
