That we could measure every day, and know loves true amount;
Would deposits and withdrawals be balanced two to one;
And fewer hearts be bankrupted for insufficient funds?

If love required we build a bridge, for hearts to meet and then,
If it failed we had to stop, before we built again;
To resubmit the blueprints until the flaws were found;
Would we be better architects, the second bridge around?

If love came with a permit; and licenses decreed:
The steady long haul lovers, from the back seat wanna-bes;
Then everyone would know for sure before the romance started;
How many times you left the scene of someone broken hearted!

Before we blame that lost romance on lack of information;
Remember love does not break hearts except by invitation!
And frankly who would love us if they knew all that we knew?
(I doubt that I would date me, if I read my rap sheet through!)

Perhaps its not so wise to know a lover’s history!
Theres not much left of love when you extract the mystery!
Ill gladly face the dangers of an unknown mix and mingle;
And trust that well take ample time to find out why were single!
