Love Endures All

He apparently was from a country

that no longer exists

to marry a lady who no longer

does either,

but when he loved her,

he loved through

her anger,

the hammer strike

of her madness,

they way she couldn't

Love him the same,

and even though

I never knew him,

I knew the people

who loved him

deeply,

the ones who felt

seen by him,

even though never

by her,

And it makes me think

of that thing Paul says:

love endures all.
