To make love a character
would be to initiate doomsday,
because one would need destruction
to fuel the fire.
To make love a character
would be hard,
because, after all, what is love
if it’s not ever so confusing and painful?
To make love a character
would take lots and lots of work,
and who do you think
would be willing to put in all that effort?
To make love a character
would be to give up on hope,
since romantics that usually involve it
wind up being hopeless.
To make love a character
is something I’d like to do;
but where do I start?—
for it is nothing new.
