In Love by Angelica Grace Lee

In Love 

As soon as I turn on the radio guess what I hear

A singer who thinks falling in love should be feared

Why do musicians always write like love is bad

And the only result of loving is feeling sad

I guess they never came across someone like you

A person they would never be willing to lose

I was sitting in a room filled with strangers

But I knew all the guys were troublemakers

I forced laughter, faked smiles for the crowd

In actuality scared you would never come around

But everything changed when I saw your face

Now I’m not sure why I had doubts in the first place

You have me searching for four leaf clovers

Trying not to lose my composure

Wishing on shooting stars in the night sky

Hoping to catch a glimpse of when you walk by

You change my mood like they’re the seasons

If I’m feeling like winter you’re my summer beacon

Before I met you I couldn’t find any inspiration

All attempts for a love poem would end in frustration

I know I am not the best at poem writing

Or the most awesome with end-rhyming

But I would write a thousand love poems for you

If you keep “loving me” on your list of things to do

I know these lyrics might seem really cliché

Like watching Spiderman save the day

Looking out for his girlfriend Mary Jane

Clothed in rough blues and reds in the pouring rain

I’m trying to make this song as real as possible

But not exaggerating these verses is improbable

You have me searching for four leaf clovers

Trying not to lose my composure

Wishing on shooting stars in the night sky

Hoping to catch a glimpse of when you walk by

Others might question our complicated love

But it only grows stronger, they’re just jealous of us
