Love Comes and Goes

There's no more denying the nature of things.
There are cycles and trends, variations and swings,
In the weather, in love, in the stock market too.
Who cares what goes on 'till it happens to you?

An emotional binge by a fairly close friend
is a blip on the screen 'till it starts to descend
on your very own heart, and then suddenly love
barges over your senses and takes control of

All the matter-of-facts and the same-old-sames,
All those thread-worn moves in the same old games.
I'm beyond those thrills , I'm completely restored!
Thank goodness! I'm steady, I'm calm, even bored!
