A love that came on quickly from the start
And faltered when those yearnings of the heart
Had entered into darkened parts of mind,
A conscience swift had left her love behind.
And birds will cut across his longing gaze,
A kiss for hours will turn to sleep for days.
At lunch they might remember, now and then
but know that it won't taste the same again.
He could not bear the weight that would compel
The soul to break for having loved too well.
