Believe In Magic

In youth's fantasies, passion inflames imagination. And yet, instinct tells you love's not mere infatuation. Morality's boundaries define who you think you are. Yet, when lust courts innocence, promiscuity's not far. Fueling unhappiness, trust's merely an illusion. For faithfulness is part of reality's delusion. Exaltation and sorrow, establish flexible norms. And the fickle winds of fate, stir up emotional storms. Yet hope allows you to smile; anything less is tragic. For when you're young and in love, you should believe in magic.

Awesome juxtaposition between: "trust is but an illusion. And faithfulness is part of reality’s delusion." and "For when you’re young and in love you should believe in magic." Very powerful, Emile.
