I wonder why
True love stories
Beyond age, space and time
Have to be always so tragic!

It reminds me
Of the masterpiece
O. Henry’s The Last Leaf –
“…On the old ivy vine,
When the last one falls
I must go, too…”

Is it true that
The union of two lovers
Signifies the physical reality
Of the natural ending of love, too?
