The volatility of love
You fall in love and fall to wishful thinking
that you've found your life's ideal
and offer her eternities of love
in perfect willingness to sacrifice whatever,
until you are cheated and betrayed,
deceived and brought to ruin by reality.
Thus love seems just a fleeting thing,
like a delightful dream of no more substance;
but still, love remains and drives you on,
the very heart of love is to continue against all denial,
spurring you to after all remain an obstinate idealist;
and whoever falls to love, love never falls.
