In the name of love I've done some very foolish things. No telling what the future of a fool hardy heart brings. I have woven a patchwork quilt of tears. And have used it to keep me warm through the years. Some people have told me it's all in my head. But, I think the heart sometimes takes control instead. In the name of love you can justify anything. You can even control the happiness you bring. But, in the name of love, you can also cause hurt. And the threshold of pain deals its worth. How much tolerance is anyone's guess. But to have loved you more, would've only been less. |
