Why Do We Love?

Because Shakespeare Will Never Die

--

Some love because they have something to hate
something to show something to feel
Others love because they have to love someone
something in some instances
as if loving was like living
we have to live before we can love
as if loving was like dying
we have to die as well
not as often as loving
as if loving was like talking
we always have something to tell
lovers love all the time
as if loving was like hating
some love to live
others live to love
some love till they die
others love because they’re going to die
Why do we love?
Because we will die
Everyone dies
Shakespeare will never die
as long as We Have Seen Better Days
is loved somewhere
even in someone’s tears
even as a thought before the last screen
even as we stop loving to dream of love
