True Love

A beating heart hides more
Than the mechanics which it thrives on
Our brains tease us
To believe what we think is right
but our hearts speak the truth
For love cannot be solved
With an equation, or a law
Therefore, it remains mysterious to the mind.

However, within us we have gone beyond intelligence
Our hearts have solved something we cannot comprehend
Yet their pride is disgusting.
They will not tell us who we love
But instead incite warmth, safety
They tease us with these feelings
So that we may know what true love feels like.

Love makes us act in ways the brain will never understand.
It memorizes smiles and voices
Better than we do with information.
A single greeting from the one you love
Can be imprinted in your mind longer than any fact.
What a shame that such power, from the heart
Can never be adopted by the brain.

Alas, the rhythmic thumping in our chests
Act as a reminder
To remind us in times of shaking faith
That love exists
Even if you do not experience it.
