speak not to me of love conceived in a single glance for such a tale is woven of idle breath and foolish fantasy to swear devotion upon the fleeting meeting of two pairs of eyes is but a hollow boast born not of the heart but of impatience and desire what depth may dwell in so shallow a moment? what truth may root itself in so barren a soil? no, this so-called love proclaimed at first sight is but a gaudy illusion a trick of longing minds that mistake wonder for devotion and hunger for fate.

Love at first sight
speak not to me of love conceived in a single glance for such a tale is woven of idle breath and foolish fantasy to swear devotion upon the fleeting meeting of two pairs of eyes is but a hollow boast born not of the heart but of impatience and desire what depth may dwell in so shallow a moment? what truth may root itself in so barren a soil? no, this so-called love proclaimed at first sight is but a gaudy illusion a trick of longing minds that mistake wonder for devotion and hunger for fate.
