“Love's End Though many years have passed since last we met, Thoughts of thee can make me smile most gladly; While parting left us echoes of regret, Golden haze lights love that ended badly. Time cannot change true feelings of the past, Nor distance dim the brightest fire's glow; Yet love doth change and is not meant to last, And lovers minds cannot the future know. There lives a part of me inside of thee, Andpart of thee resides within my breast; The better part of us remains most free, To love another better suited guest. I would not change what passed between our hearts, But love is ended when the lover parts.”
