Love is like a shooting star

                        If losing is painful
                           are you scared of giving 
                        If falling is painful
                           will you still keep on going 
                        If confusion is painful
                           should you end it or start it over
                        If pursuing is painful
                           do you call it strong or stubborn
  
                        If separation is painful
                           to whom can you divulge your pain
                        If promise is painful
                           should you express your real passion
                        If obsession is painful
                           isn't love a mistake after all
                        If love is painful
                           where is the true feeling in this world

                        There are many things
                           which I only understand afterwards
                        But I can no longer find the road
                           where I actually come from
                        For many things I don't feel any pain
                           at the time when I'm there
                        Even they are painful I think
                           that I simply will not care
