And you love me <br /> <br />I love you. <br /> <br />You are, then, cold coward. <br /> <br />Aye; but, beloved, <br />When I strive to come to you, <br />Man's opinions, a thousand thickets, <br />My interwoven existence, <br />My life, <br />Caught in the stubble of the world <br />Like a tender veil -- <br />This stays me. <br />No strange move can I make <br />Without noise of tearing <br />I dare not. <br /> <br />If love loves, <br />There is no world <br />Nor word. <br />All is lost <br />Save thought of love <br />And place to dream. <br />You love me? <br /> <br />I love you. <br /> <br />You are, then, cold coward. <br /> <br />Aye; but, beloved --<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-you-love-me/
