This is the first time I have ever loved; Yours, the first face I can not forget. I think you are afraid, perhaps, and moved To wonder whether you should do this yet. I also am afraid, and yet I know That wonder is a thing that needs a yes; Should you step back and let this moment go, Both you and I will have to live with less. Please trust my love, as I must trust in yours. It's strong as steel, as delicate as lace, Immovable as battered granite shores: I feel its power and unremitting grace. So come, my love, and try this love with me; Let your love speak, and then you will agree.
