PAYING THE PRICE

Life is like a treasure hunt

Until love comes along,

With people searching high and low,

Hoping they're not wrong.

 

Love is like an auction house

Where nothing's ever free;

I bid high - my heart knew why -

To take you home with me.

 

When love's a must, you go for bust

And pay the auction fee.
