      How To LOVE Like You're 20 (But You're NOT !!) - D Richard

      INTRODUCTION

      Ah, it’s the age old question: what IS love?

      A chemical reaction? A sign from above?

      Does it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

      With a face full of smiles that you simply can’t hide?

      Or can you also feel pain, break into sweats, start to cry

      Feel a longing so intense that you just want to die?

      Can love be so good that you begin to hear voices?

      Does it confuse your mind so you make the wrong choices?

      Infatuations so you’re hooked and you have to erupt

      Or it never develops, just withers so abrupt?

      Love has existed since the dawning of man

      Yet STILL to this day, it’s so hard to understand

      By definition: a relationship of interpersonal experience

      Some even claim it’s our natural sixth sense

      So perhaps you’ve managed to put on a few years

      a few pounds

      shed a few tears

      Aren’t you wiser from learning?

      Did your love change so much as the pages we’re turning?

      Age is not a factor when climbing love’s wall

      Since love has no boundaries, no limits at all

      Whether you’re over age 50, hardly 20, or not even 10

      Love begins, some love ends, all love can start new again

      Love can last but a second, a lifetime, or with no expiration

      Since love comes from within, it all starts with:

      INSPIRATION

      INSPIRATION

      What turns you on? Another human being?

      Is it work, a pet, faith in something unseen?

      The world is a blank canvas to a person of 20

      Change comes much faster, your brush strokes are plenty

      Just because Boomers carry a palate of scars

      They still breathe the same air, gaze upon the same stars

      All it takes is a solitary spark

      Light that springs from the dark

      Deep in your heart, in your mind…it leaves a mark

      Ever just stare at art on a wall?

      To one: it’s a masterpiece

      To another: it’s nothing at all

      Falling in love is in the eye of the beholder

      What makes YOU so hot leaves another one colder

      Real beauty is rare, so you have to pursue

      When your heart feels a purpose, it makes breathing feel new

      There’s usually a keen sense of direction

      In order to achieve an inspired connection

      Unbridled enthusiasm starts in black and white

      Evolves into that rainbow, a prism of color and light

      You may seek a better life with a passionate purpose

      Or it could just sneak up on you

      Since life IS a circus.

      AT FIRST SIGHT

      The spark ignites

      Your mind delights

      A vision blinds you

      It’s LOVE at first sight

      From that goldfish in a bowl

      Diamonds from a lump of coal

      Words of wisdom that touch your soul

      Another’s affection is your goal

      And so it goes: love takes its toll

      No matter if you’re a young buck

      A bit older with saddles you cannot tuck

      This IS your destiny, your chance, your luck

      RIGHT BETWEEN
