NEW EMOTIONS
When at first we fall in love,
We lose our appetite.
We see the sun on rainy days:
Don't sleep so well at night.
We long to spend our time with them
And when they are away:
No matter what we have to do,
We think of them all day.
We discover new emotions too,
We never knew we had:
Never at one time before,
So happy and so sad.
We feel so happy, fit to burst;
Yet sad that it may end.
We've found someone that we can call
Much more than just a friend.
But when our love has run its course:
Our emotions less intense;
Our feet back firmly on the ground:
Heads full of common sense.
Of one thing, we can be quite sure,
Though love may come and go:
Nothing so weird and wonderful
As our first love we'll know.
