Marriage is a
turn towards innocence As two vow what can only be naïve. Romantic love, of course, comes more
than once, Returning with the fickleness of
sense, Interring what sweet semblance one would
save. Adults, however, know the story
well, Grasping the harsh truth of higher
love, Embracing what endures but through the
will.
