What turns these people upside down
Why is it they all have a frown?
A wise man told me yesterday
It was Mr Love giving them a bad day
This morning I quickly made my bed
I got up early and said
Hi Mr Love why are you so bad
You got me feeling really sad
He never loved me though I loved him so
From my head to my little toe
Yesterday during chemistry lecture
I gave him my chocolate but he only said, Oh its so bitter
Mr Love you're so mean
By the way, you're not very thin
I promise I'll be a good girl
I won't steal Mummy's pretty pearl
If you let us be together
I'll treat you like my very own brother
I could also fold you a straw heart
One of the hundred I made for him from the start
So then in front of him I'll say
I hope these ninety nine hearts make your day
There was supposed to be a hundred
But the last one was for Mr Love who'd never been cuddled
-Yours truly
"A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way."
So which side wins, I ask?
"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
"Love wins. Love always wins."
