Once upon a time there was a sorcerer
who fell in love very easily. And one spell
he could never work was to make others love him
back. He tried different words
and hand gestures and the biggest wand
he could find but nothing was quite right.
The spell to make them head-
over-heels only caused cracked skulls.
The spell to make them fall
for him just made a mess beside tall buildings.
The spell to make them true
to him was the most painful of all. These
are the reasons I do not like you, they would begin.
And still he could not stop loving them.

Clever, leaves me wanting more cleverity. What else do we tend to do while 'falling in love' or 'being in love'?
