Oh Love, why do you do this?
Why do you evade me?
I have waited and waited
For more than 30 years
Crushes came, crushes went
And then I fell in love
Head over heels
I was just 21 then
And doing my MBA
Alas, it was one-sided
I never had the courage
To tell her the three magic words
By the time I finally did it
I was three years late

Oh Love, why do you do this?
Why do you evade me?
It is so, so unfair
You know I am a nice guy
And nice guys aren’t meant to stay single
Especially if they fall in love
More than once
Oh yes, I did fall in love again
Just a year ago
Though it was technically an arranged marriage
Alas, I was deceived yet again
The only difference being
That it was not I
Who was at fault
Nevertheless, what’s done is done
And as I write this
I am going through a divorce

Oh Love, why do you do this?
Why do you evade me?
What have I done
To deserve this cruel Fate?
I am definitely not a quitter
I have tried Tinder
I have tried Bumble
I have swiped right
I have swiped left
Alas, no match for me
It’s a cruel world out there
Oh Love, why do you do this?
Why do you evade me?
