Pounded in Our Heads ; Screaming in our Hearts

Why are we all just fools racing to be in love?
When did someone plant in our heads we need to be in love?
Why can’t I be comfortable with just being friends?
Because someone made me believe I need you to be happy.
You’re incredible to me in ways you do not see
But as the Earth revolves I’m pondering on
Why must love be so sweet yet cruel?
Why is it unrequited?
Love should be inviting.
Why must we be afraid to love?
Because love has hurt us all before.
But Love always comes back
There is always more.
