I'm sorry for the way I say I love you. I know this kind of talk is far too soon. I cannot stop myself; I just adore you. And so this truth pronounces its own doom. But when a truth betrays itself, I wonder: Could it be that such a truth be true? Or could the sweet compulsion that I'm under Be caused in part by ignorance of you? I know only the truth of what I feel, Which lies beneath all sanity or rule. My love for you is deep and rich and real, Though it may be I simply am a fool. Time will tell the truth, for if you do Not want my love, I cannot long love you.
