There is something the sun never sets on.

Planes, trains, and buses have schedules to run on. A love that is scheduled isn't love at all.
Some hearts warm more quickly.
Some hearts chill too fast.
The saying encouraging us
to "Give up friendships
as slowly as you make them"
says nothing about love.
The song that claims
a "...love was too hot,
not to cool down"
was not speaking about real love.
The expression, "There is no half love":
is closer to the truth.
The song that says "...all or nothing at all"
spoke love's treasured secret:
Love willingly risks all,
because the prize is so priceless.
Once deserted, can make one twice cautious,
but the prize of true love,
calls for a renewed "all in"
commitment.
If half love worked,
how would you choose which half?
Then something would always
be lacking.
Love requires the sacrificing
of the Self.
In return, real love rewards
with a two-for-one reward
of indivisibility.
Yes, love's garden
needs constant care,
not just planting.
Its true harvest
is everything poets seek
to capture in well-chosen words
which express only three:
I love you.
