Gentle Love



As gentle as love could seem,

giving tender hearts dreams of fantasy

and letting beauty be all one could see;

it tears and breaks hearts,

when the time shall come to part.

And if you shall ever come to love,

don't trust it's dreamy promises,

for love isn't a tender thing.



When I handed this poem in to my English teacher, her comment was that

it was a thoughtful and provoking poem.

Is it? I don't know, for it is the way I think about love most times.

But if love is so, and many people know,

why would we be willing to love again and again?
