The Mirage of Love

Mimi and Aaron’s friendship started off with pure intentions Somewhere along the way they opened up Pandora’s box Because sometimes we let our hearts speak and we ignore logic We would rather bask in the glory of our lust filled desires Lust left unbridled often leads to drama and consequences Consequences often lead to innocent victims and death Because what’s done in the dark Has a way of crawling towards the light And you know what they say, friends make the best lovers except when they belong to another And if the saying is really true then why do we often ignore what we need In search of the superficial things that we want Sometimes you discover, what we call love isn't really love at all It's more or less a convenient cover, laid over hidden intentions It's lust and chemistry, dressed up like love Love builds you up and is self-less Love challenges you to be your best self Anything else is just smoke and mirrors Anything else is just the mirage of love.
