~ A sonnet for the one I love ~

A heart is a balloon easily swayed;

Only the warmth of love can lift if up.

A gentle breeze can make it lose its way,

And cold weather can make it much too tough.

A heart constricted long enough shrivels,

Because it’s loved so much it cannot breathe.

Hearts ignored linger on the trivial;

A heart like yours means all the world to me.

But our hearts are so easily balanced;

Loving you is like my second nature.

Even our feet stepped in time as we went;

With this our feelings surely have matured.

The strongest hearts can fail through rougher times,

But the strength of love like ours never dies.
