Reasoned love ( may be )

May be our love wasn't enough
To keep us together any long
May be I loved you for different reasons,
Reasons diverse from yours

May be we both were again looking for new reasons
To stay in love
To keep loving
And may be love is the last emotion to be reasoned with

There's no sanity in the things the heart desires,
No explanation for the emotions it feels
And may be when we put our brain into use
For choosing a person to love
The love just fades away
Along with the significance of that reason

It was a decision, a wise one
We thought we were best for each other
As we were too lazy to keep waiting for our instincts to work
Too impatient, too clever ,
To fall in love without any reason

We both had our own excuses in reasoning love
But with or without any reason
The thing we had wasn't some play or spoof
Emotions were involved
A lot of them

Nevertheless our reasoning failed
And our reasoned love was put to an end ,
Acting on the advice of our wise old brain
Mind over matter we chose

Alas!  Our heart is stupid though
When it breaks, it breaks the same
For the love reasoned and the unreasoned
And no amount of reasoning ever comforts a broken heart..

Hang on!

You have to reach out Yeah, you have to Sometimes to help Sometimes to seek The simplest of the things The not so obvious signs That subtle ...
