'I must be in love' by Ahmad Abdullah

"To be in love and to be loved."

Everything is falling around me

Everybody is calling, there is trouble

Everywhere I go I only see

Everything that makes my blood bubble

I must be in love

I have found someone who is special

I have found the road I seek

I have found a crime that I’ll prosper

In a way not solemn or meek.

I must be in love

I saw you trying to steal my heart

I mocked you that you won’t succeed

Yet you didn’t hide, you were so bold

You captured me with words untold

I must be in love

This must be a tale to tell in time

This must be an illusion I’m trapped

For just this tiny time of loneliness

When all I can think of is your tenderness

I must be in love

I must be a fool

Swimming in a deluded pool

Of a typhoon of hormones

That clouds my judgment

I must be in love

I must be in love

I must say it to myself

I must be in love

I must be in love

Isn’t this how it feels

To be in love

And to be loved.
