Loving you

16/03/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



The recipe for loving you seems simple

First you start with two ingredients

A little estrogen and testosterone

And let them simmer nicely

Then you add a bit of adrenaline

For that bit of kick

Followed by a splash of dopamine

To get the heart going

And just enough serotonin

For those neurotransmitters to soak up

To create a bond that lasts

We’ll throw in some vasopressin

Just to make sure everything sticks

Finally, we’re going to add a pinch of oxytocin

The ingredient responsible for those cuddles

On long, cold, winter nights

And when all those ingredients

Have had the time to mix together

The result is a bubble of love

That can never be repeated

With any other person

In exactly the same way
