Harlequin Romance

Young love shows, youths true foolishness. So desperate to be found, in each other’s ignorance, to often they drown. Too quick to say forever, too young to know the truth. They place everything, on the trust of another, willing to die for what they are not sure is even true. They promise the future, when they can’t control the present. Say they will last, when they don’t understand, the inevitable anguish, Of a harlequin romance. To these imprudent people, I do suggest, nay I do beseech. Do not assume the future perfect, Life is life, complications arise. Hope for the best, But for any challenge, Be prepared to rise. Unless, that is, You want the world to think you fool, In which case stand idle, And continue, On your false assumptions, To everlastingly drool.
