Love Desert

Hovnan Jonah Alexanian

Tonight is the night to contemplate self thoughts
Why love just fades away before it's fully formed

You caught my eye at the start
Couldn't get my mind off of you

You took my breath away with your kiss
Couldn't get enough of you to get peace

My heart stopped in the middle of love
Can't explain why but that brought peace

To understand what drives self to destruction
Knowing full well it's not the answer to satisfaction
