L'amour

 

Love is something quite incredible.

A saddened soul can be fixed by a smile

Of someone with a warm heart.

It's amazing how love can change a person:

Dark, depressed, bitter, cynical, heartless,

Now bright, happy, sweet, open-minded, caring.

Though sometimes love does not last,

In which case, those who have loved and lost:

Do not be sad or angry.

Instead, reflect on the moments that made you enjoy life,

Those moments that make your blood run slow and warm.

Those are the moments to be cherished.

Never forget them. Never let them fade.

For those who have never loved, be patient.

Good things come to those who wait.

For those who hopelessly search for love, also be patient.

Love is usually something that just comes to you.

It never appears from hiding if you try and find it.

For those in love, make it last forever if possible.

Don't let disagreements of any size end it.

Never let explosive lies crumble a strong wall.

And though I speak of love as life's treasure,

I mention my advice to all of these types.

Never underestimate the power of love.

Be cautious that it does not conquer you.

If it does, your life can fall apart.

For love is truly the greatest power of all.

It can heal, and it can kill.
