The Dilemma of Love

Can love be forever?

Some say so. Some say never.

Where it comes from no one knows

But once it gets you in its throes

It engulfs the most unsuspecting heart

You cannot explain it, no matter how smart

It puts you under a fearful spell

And makes parting seem like hell

Why him? Why her? When it happens to you

Don’t ask me, I haven’t a clue

-W.A.
