What do we do, What do we get in the Name of Love?

What do we do? In the name of love.

What do we get? In the name of love.

 

We play hard to impress,

we pray hard and express.

when we don’t know, we guess

and we enjoy this process.

 

Some find their soulmates

and some get a husband or wife.

Some feel joy, some hope,

and some find a meaning of life.

 

When we are with our mate

life becomes a celebration.

Our happiness knows no bounds,

so magical feels this sensation?

 

Then there are the ones

who keep trying and waiting.

Smouldering slowly with time,

mastering the art of placating.

 

Some get distracted and feel

all is fair in love, in order to possess.

Who fail to understand love,

it becomes natural to obsess.

 

Some fight for the attention

and some draw out the knives.

It transforms into madness

when some start giving up their lives.

 

Then there are innocent lovers

that we know are one-sided.

Led solely by their imagination

they become overly misguided.

 

Our attention, thoughts and focus

quits us and shift to another person.

We naively stop caring for the ‘self’

and allow the situation to worsen.

 

When this effort starts affecting us

we must attempt to clear up the air.

Let's not lose our hearts or feel sad

and brood over splitting the hair.

 

They keep chasing the Mirage

wasting thought time and energy.

For a relationship to succeed

what we need is ‘synergy’.

 

Sometimes the universe cares

and happily, grants us the wish.

Sometimes it doesn't seem to

and keeps us waiting for the kiss.

 

When we don't meet our lover

The heart sinks and shatters

At such moment we feel sad,

grieving is all that matters.

 

The mind weaves a beautiful dream

we give into its creation unaware.

So, what if this dream is shattered,

it can pull up a better one from somewhere.

 

All we can do is ‘understand’,

this experience wasn’t meant for us.

Maybe we deserve someone better,

there is no point is creating so much fuss.

 

Scan and search but don’t lock on

until acknowledgement and reflection

We must keep moving forward,

knowing preferences are not rejection.

 

There are many souls in the world

which may reflect our vibrations.

One may attract the right one

similar or rather a bright one.

 

We must disrupt the chain of thoughts

and see the beauty spread all around

Find a place full of natural beauty,

travel to put our boots on the ground.

 

What is the meaning of love?

If we couldn't fulfil our wish.

We wish them rainbow horizons

and wish well a successful finish.

 

If the love remains sans that person,

only then it is true love.

If we are happy in their existence,

only then it is true love.

 

That’s what we do in the name of love.

That’s what we get in the name of love.
