"And what are men to rocks and mountains?"

Out of all the things I have read,
I am most fond of stories that display
That love is powerful
And that love conquers--
And I used to believe
Love was just a fairy tale.
That it wasn't real,
That it was a piece of fantastic fiction
That everyone agreed
To pretend was real.

I convinced myself of this.
That if you couldn't be mine,
That I didn't know romantic love at all.

But you are mine,
Wholly and entirely.
And if I had read anything
To be true,
It would be also from Pride and Prejudice:
“The distance is nothing when one has a motive.”
