Love is just a consequence

Love is just a consequence

of proximity and time

always falling in and out

with a pretty face

let's talk for a while

see where it goes

communication and patience are a wonderful foundation

suddenly you see the possibilities

anyone can be perfect

if you get to know them

especially since we all want to be loved

to feel seen

to be valued so deeply that your presence is all someone needs

and they would do anything to keep you happy

so we call those soul mates

but the world used to be more tight knit

you only saw so many people

you fell in love easy

because when you found happiness

you didn't want to lose it

now people can search far and wide

for a connection

with people they never would have met

even just a few years ago

now if sparks don't fly right away

it's on to the next one

when love is just a thing that happens

anyone could be your forever

as long as they treat you right
