All Is Fair

All is fair in love and war, 

For love and war are lovers. 

War and Love, those deities so fair, 

Aphrodite and Ares belong to one another. 

 

All is fair in love and war, 

For every soldier holds someone 

Closer than anyone ever before, 

and every lover has to fight 

for the person they feel is right. 

 

All is fair in love and war, 

For love is a battle in itself. 

You fight to be enough, 

and your lover does the same. 

 

All is fair in love and war, 

For without one or the other, 

A soul is poor.
