The Faces of Love

When love calls then hides and sings
Youthful eyes can see it's wings,
There is no doubt what love can bring,
How nice to be in love.

When deep affection swells your heart
And yearning causes worries to depart,
When deep affection you impart,
How enchanting love can be.

When burning kisses light your way
And passion fling your doubts away,
And moonlight walks are a bouquet,
What a joy to be in love.

When one by one the vows are broken
And doubts like secrets left unspoken,
And tenderness seems like a token,
Oh! How love can sting.

When the fealty and trust has faded
And the frightful silence has invaded,
And the spoken word seems jaded,
Can we ever love again?

Mahtab, love can hurt, but more love could heal the pain. Too bad it can't erase it from your mind. Thank you.
