Truth is rarely an expression of love: Honesty most often precedes pain. In hope there is the fragrance of illusion; Romance requires the charm of light confusion; The best lovers are criminally insane. Yet lies, eventually, will suck out passion. One must be truthful if one hopes to love: Not cruelly, but enough to ease delusion. Each love must be broken, then built back again.
