Stephen Crane - And you love me

And you love me

I love you.

You are, then, cold coward.

Aye; but, beloved,
When I strive to come to you,
Man's opinions, a thousand thickets,
My interwoven existence,
My life,
Caught in the stubble of the world
Like a tender veil --
This stays me.
No strange move can I make
Without noise of tearing
I dare not.

If love loves,
There is no world
Nor word.
All is lost
Save thought of love
And place to dream.
You love me?

I love you.

You are, then, cold coward.

Aye; but, beloved --

This poem is a very intellectual poem about a love that is hidden because of society. It is talking about how somebody loves him ;however, they are afraid to show it because of society and their views on them as a couple.

This is one of the better love poems I have read in a good while. I like it because it is short and sweet and full of heart I started writing poems for my girlfriend a few months ago and it makes me feel sooo awesome when i know she appreciates that i am able to put my feelings on paper for her.
