Love Is Just A Four-letter Word

Love is just a four-letter word
But do you know what it is?
Believe in me, my dear friend
It’s not just eternal bliss

Puppy Love affects the young
The old, and not so old
How do you know it’s Puppy Love?
Why, it blows hot and cold

Eternal Love or True Love
Some have the privilege to share
Be vigilant, my naive friend
It could be used to ensnare

Platonic Love is the only love
That says you’re just a friend
If you want to take things up a notch
It drives you round the bend

A Lost Love is the dear one
You let slip through your fingers
You long for just one more chance
But only the memory of her lingers

Secret Love is between those
Who hide their lover’s nest
It’s clear as day the reason here
Is to prevent an inquest

Unrequited Love is so very sad
And you may never heal
There is this question I have to ask
Does she know how you feel?

Careless Love is the best of all
You don’t even have to care!
But don’t be surprised when you turn around
To find she’s no longer there

Cyber Love is the e-love
That has spread through the Internet
You can fall for one you’ve never seen
Or one that you’ve never met

Then there is this strangest of love
That’s called “No Love Lost”
It means the love for your fellow men
Must be suppressed at any cost

Love is just another four-letter word
That has been tossed around
In blogs, in mail, in the magazine
It kept us all spellbound
