Hope overcomes experience for Friend Tate

sonnet in tetrameter

 

Hope overcomes experience

 

I understand that love can die.

Without a cause apparently.

There is no point in asking why.

We must accept that agony

 replaces erstwhile ecstasy

We used to share so long ago.

So we decide reluctantly

 the time has come we must let go.

We can retain fond memories

 or do our damndest to forget

though neither can be done with ease.

Because we are not ready yet.

No doubt we’ll fall in love again

 undeterred by our past pain.
