How to Fall in Love in 5 Easy Steps

It’s a lot easier than falling out of it, that’s for sure

If you would fall in love
You first must choose with whom
The quicker you decide
The quicker love will bloom

The second thing to do
Replace all that you know
With what you wish for most
Then surely love will grow

And then, learn not to listen
To friends or common sense
Love flourishes in ignorance
(The best at it are dense)

The next thing that you need
To fully lose your heart
Is first to lose your mind
Whenever you’re apart

And then, if you are lucky
They’ll look at you that way
You’ll trade a smile, and presto!
You’ll give your heart away

But here is a disclaimer
I hasten to admit
Your love might break that heart of yours
And it will hurt a bit
