It is not love
If there is no mystery
Hidden in meaningful glances
It is not love
When words say I love you
While actions deny
It is not love
If the red roses are sent
To apologise for a missed date
It is not love
If the lips whispering
Cannot smile within
It is not love
If time does not stand still
In the heartbeat of a kiss
It is not love
If destiny has no reflection
In the eyes of truth
