[love Is Not Crafted... ]

Love is not crafted and polished of stone or
egyptian cotton torn along a seam. It is neither
unbreakable nor easily mended. when dropped it
will neither bounce nor crumple into a neat pile.

Love is made like a crystal serving dish
filled with quicksilver (mercury, symbol; Hg) .
when it is dropped I will stretch my arms out
to their extent but not manage to catch it.

And you say; 'I'm sure if we try, we can fix it.'
