"Do you believe in love,"
They asked.
Without hesitation, he replied,
"Yes. I do believe in love,
For, often in my past,
I have known love,
As even today I know it.
I have been prepared
To give everything,
Possessions, pride,
All...even myself,
For those I love, and loved,
And, often so have done."
"If you believe in love,
And loved so much,"
They said,
"How can you be so sad?
For how can one who knows love,
So often and so truly,
Be sad!
In quiet voice, he replied,
"For love has not known me."
